[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It wasn't the AART doing the pullouts in the first place. We had a choice that following year to either stay at the Title 1 base for level 3 pullouts or go to the center for full-time level 4.  After what happened to the prior year's enrichment, I thought the same would happen with the level 3 pullouts so we opted for the center. Thanks for confirming.[/quote]

So who was this licensed teacher that was pulling your kid out? Because it sure wasn't a classroom teacher, or a Math/Language Arts specialist. Classroom teachers have actually classes of kids they all have to teach. Sure they might run a station with more challenging work, but that isn't what you are describing. And specialists, particularly in Title I schools, are focused on students who are struggling so that makes no sense.

Based on staffing requirements, the only person who would pull kids for AAP would be the AAP teacher. Since they are trained in gifted education, most hold a certification in gifted education from the state and well...it's part of their job. So, I don't know who was with your kid or what the heck they were doing.

Level II and III services vary dramatically based on the school's staffing. There's so much parents don't see. They aren't consistent and while they are something they differ dramatically from a level IV classroom experience. I do hope your kid is doing well this year, fwiw. [/quote]
