[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wasn't a big part of the whole idea of centers to provide a community of peers for our students who learn differently, etc.? Wasn't this one of the findings in the independent study FCPS had done a few months ago -- that's why "critical mass" at new centers was said to be important and should be a factor in opening any new centers at MS level -- along with properly credentialed AAP teachers. [b]Now it seems they are ignoring, even reversing, these guiding principles.[/b][/quote] Agree and it is (largely) due to site-based management. FCPS Advanced Academics can say whatever they would like as far as "guiding principles" for AAP, and the School Board can have as many AAP program reviews that they want to fund, but currently there is no way to enforce these guiding principles at each school. The school principal can do whatever he or she wants.[/quote]
