[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the qualifications for an AART?  Do they have sufficient training in developmental psychology, or cognitive science?  I would assume that they have to hold a degree in one or more technical areas, since they are responsible for teaching "critical reasoning" and assessing the students on their Gifted Behavior - is there a place where any of this is published?  It seems that the AAP program is growing at a much faster pace than they would be able to hire reasonably qualified individuals. [/quote]

Teachers, the principal, the AART, etc. fill out the GBRS as a committee..do you think they all need this specialized training?[/quote]

Not PP.  I actually don't think the principal should be involved in the process at all.  Principals don't have significant contact with the kids in an academic setting, so have no clue whether a specific child consistently exhibits certain behaviors/traits.  The counselor who was on the committee assigning my DC's GBRS wasn't even the one assigned to DC's grade. I find it interesting that all these people, other than the teacher, who had minimal contact with DC were on the committee assigning a number to how frequently DC did certain things.  It just seems random to me.  I think the teacher's opinion is what should be determinative.  I never got the whole committee assessment thing.  The first and second grade teachers should be it.[/quote]
