[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Np here,

In my opinion, "the commitee" is made to avoid blaming game for the teacher. Principal and aart would not really know every kids in the 2nd grade. 
I think GBRS is mainly the teacher's subjective opinion but s/he wouldn't want to be blamed when parents complain.[/quote]

Also, our school's AART didn't even know what "GAI score" from WISC-4 was. I had to explain to her! [/quote]

The GAI is often not used clinically, typically disregarded by the AAP committee, and is insignificant unless there is more than a 7 point difference between the full scale and the GAI.  So if it is typically disregarded by the AAP committee, I see no reason why the AART "needs" to know about it.[/quote]

The GIA is so commonly used. It isn't exactly necessary for many cases, but it is not uncommon with regard to the gifted population. Especially 2E kids. They AART should be well aware of the GIA. [b]It is very reliable and scientifically sound. [/b][/quote]

Not true.  There needs to be at least a 7 point different b/w the two to have any clinical significance.  Also, the AAP committee does NOT generally use the GAI as it considers it the massaging of the true data.[/quote]
