[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the DRA benchmarks different for the AAP classroom?[/quote]

DRA is not related to AAP.  DRA is not an intelligence test.  There are children in AAP with reading levels all over the map. [/quote]
I thought that the AAP students were ahead by a grade or two in language arts[/quote]

There's nothing in this that says AAP students are a grade or two ahead in language arts:

Students found eligible for placement in a full-time Advanced Academic Program (Level IV) through a central selection process receive a highly challenging instructional program in the four core subject areas.  The Level IV program is designed to meet the needs of advanced learners with a strong emphasis on higher level thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making.  Students have ongoing opportunities for reflection and self-assessment that develop an understanding of the characteristics, demands, and responsibilities of advanced intellectual development.

AAP students are not necessarily ahead in anything before third grade. When they finish third grade, they will be a year ahead in math, because they cover 3rd & 4th grade math in one year.[/quote]

They are virtually indistinguishable  from their GenEd counterparts. Nothing advanced or accelerated when it comes to language arts.[/quote]

Then why the need for FT LLIV centers?  What a waste.[/quote]
