[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet another reason the process needs a revamp, requiring much higher cutoff scores and no subjective input from others.  You're in or you're not, based on your scores.[/quote]

Such an approach runs counter to the Commonwealth of Virginia regulations.

a. Assessment of appropriate student products, performance, or portfolio;
b. Record of observation of in-classroom behavior;
c. Appropriate rating scales, checklists, or questionnaires;
d. Individual interview;
e. Individually administered or group-administered, nationally norm-referenced aptitude or achievement tests;
f. Record of previous accomplishments (such as awards, honors, grades, etc.); or
g. Additional valid and reliable measures or procedures.[/quote]

Doesn't make it right and doesn't mean it is working.  The program needs serious adjustments and it should start by raising the admission bar.  Then they need to figure out what to do with the large contingency of learning disabled children that are being labled twice exceptional then given advanced academics because they can't cut it in a stadard classroom enviornment. OK repeat "the large contingency of learning disabled children being labeled twice exceptional and then given advanced academics because they CAN'T cut it in the standard classroom enviornment"  - huh?   I think they could create alternative learning classrooms or schools.
