[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone know how the GBRS committees are supposed to work?  My child's form does not have any of her classroom teachers listed in the signature section.  Does that sound right?[/quote]

Sounds right.

[quote]All K-8 grade students are considered for advanced academic services through an annual review 
of ability test scores, achievement test scores, progress reports, and a gifted behaviors rating 
scale (Attachment B). The advanced academic resource teacher at each elementary school 
reviews data for students at that school and collaborates with classroom teachers and other 
school professionals to identify students who need additional challenge through Level II and III 
advanced academic services. All decisions are made by the committee using the guidelines in 
the GT Testing, Screening and Identification Procedures Manual (Attachment C).

Schools with high numbers of students on free and reduced lunch, and/or students from diverse 
cultural, ethnic, and linguistic backgrounds have incorporated a Young Scholars (YS) model 
(Attachment D) into the screening and identification process. In addition, the advanced 
academic resource teachers find and nurture Young Scholars in every elementary school.
 
Beginning in kindergarten, the Advanced Academic Resource Teacher (AART) places student 
data into a database (Attachment E). This database includes ability test scores (if available), 
achievement test scores (if available), and a score on the gifted behaviors rating scale. The 
database is used by a local screening committee to decide which students need school-based 
services (Levels II or III) and in which academic area(s). In addition to the database, referrals 
(Attachment F) are accepted from parents or legal guardians, teachers, professionals, students, 
peers, self or others. Each year the AART documents services received and materials used for 
each student on a record of services form (Attachment G) which is kept in the student’s 
cumulative file.[/quote][/quote]
