[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not have separate AAP programs with separate qualification criteria for math/science and language arts?  This would promote more mixing between AAP and GenEd, since a lot of kids would only qualify AAP in one area and be in GenEd for the other.

This is Level III.  [/quote]

[b]At many schools, Level III is a mere 1 hour/week pull out.  The students certainly aren't getting anything remotely equivalent to Level IV services in their areas of strength.  [/quote][/b]

This +1000.  When my son was receiving Level III pullouts at his base school he was lucky to get pulled out once a month. Much of the rest of the time the AART was dealing with parents who wanted their kids in AAP, or putting together folders for AAP or some other AAP-related screening b.s.  By the time my son was in 6th grade, he and his friends refused to even go to pullouts which they thought were a hassle.   In other words, Level III pullouts at his school (now an AAP center, ironically) were a joke even to the AART who spent more time trying to get kids out of the school than help those advanced kids who were left.

Thus the earlier recommendations to strengthen and ensure standardization of delivery of Level III services.
