[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is A LOT of misunderstanding about some LLIV vs. Center programs.  Some people seem to be under the impression that there is a special curriculum at centers (which is not true; teachers are teaching [u]extensions[/u] in the curriculum that is set by FCPS for ALL students) or that the teachers have some special training/certification (which is not true; most teachers hold an endorsement in GT and/or AAP, but that's true of teachers at MANY schools, certainly not just at centers).

I think some of the LLIV settings are the [i]hidden secret[/i].[b]  I wish more people recognized how fantastic some of the LLIV settings are. :)[/b]

They likely will when LLIV becomes the only option at many schools in the area.  [/quote]

Is this actually under consideration?  I sure as hell hope so.[/quote]

Me too.  I only wish they could have implemented this change years ago.[/quote]

Are you talking about one local level IV school?  They are not uniformly implemented.  I also wonder how you can even make a comparison to the center school if you only did level IV.  The OP asked for help- these generalizations without substance isn't helpful.[/quote]

The idea, at least in McLean and parts of Vienna would be to eventually put LLIV in local schools where there is critical mass, so that ultimately busing to a center (and out of a local school) becomes unnecessary.  [/quote]

There was a thread at some point where numbers were actually shared.  I think there were 8 schools with 25+ kids per year.

I am wondering if 20 is a reasonable cutoff, though.

Any way, there are some schools where offering the center as an option is ridiculous.[/quote]

Yep.  Great Falls, Forestville, Spring Hill, Wolf Trap, to name just a few.[/quote]

Yes we are at Forestville, and I was just talking to a parent of a child referred to AAP next year.  Our AAP center is Forest Edge.  He said that last year only one student went to the center at Forest Edge and all the other AAP kids stayed at Forestville.  They are staying at Forestville too for Local Level IV.[/quote]
