[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Include samples of work that shows his critical thinking. Some ideas: writing samples, examples of him solving multi step math problems, toys or games he has built using everyday house items, etc., 
Also focus your write up on concrete examples of how he fits into the hope scale. And also why AAP is necessary for his growth potential (what he won’t get from GE).[/quote]

I never included any specific discussion of what my dc would not get from Gen ed, in part because I didn't know enough about the differences and also because I didn't want to risk saying something that would be offputting. Instead I used all my space to provide ample examples to create a picture of what my kid is like (bright, motivated, creative). I did not include any multistep math prob solutions. Since it was already clear dc was strong in math I focused the work samples on showcasing other strengths. Also dc is not an inventor either but did construct lots of toys from random stuff around the house which I thought was creative. I gave a writing/drawing prompt to make an invention that could be helpful around the house and that was enough to generate something reasonably creative and thoughtful. In short, you have lots options. If I had to do it again I might have given a prompt asking dc to take different perspectives on something to show thoughtfulness. Last but not least, I covered my bases to give some examples social awareness and consideration of others. [/quote]
