[quote=Anonymous]AAP teachers have FIVE years to complete the training/education necessary for teaching AAP once they accept the job.  That means they can teach students AAP for 5 years before knowing anything about advanced students.

From a FCPS Teacher:
“I’m a teacher and have seen how many teachers fill out the HOPE score. Most of them are inconsistent and depends on the kids behavior. The brief training the AART teacher gave to teacher was not helpful or thorough. Most ES teachers aren’t gifted themselves and don’t have a gifted education related background. I found it frustrating that many of them see misbehavior or acting up itself as a sign of not willing to learn even though some kids are clearly bright and bored. The fact that this random HOPE scale filled by a teacher within 1-2 min weighs more than Cogat, NNAT or WICS is unacceptable and preventing truly gifted from accessing the advanced curriculum. I have seen a 2nd grader whose scores are mediocre across the board but got in level IV solely because her AART teacher wrote a long essay on her GBRS describing how gifted she is.”
