[quote=Anonymous]My gifted kids are in 2nd and 5th in APS. My mom has her masters degree in fired education and both my spouse and I were in traditional cohort tracked, pull out gifted programs in the 1980s. I like the gifted program in APS and I think it’s more equitable. Unless your kid is Doogie Houser, it can work for you too.

Get your 3rd grader on the upper elementary version of Dreambox and get signed up for the Parent Dashboard so you get weekly reports. Bring your kid’s iPad home and watch them do Dreambox. Check what lessons align with each standard and work with your teacher or math interventionist to assign your kid lessons.

Get your kid books that align with their reading level and make sure they get free reading time once they finish Lexia.

Find out what differentiation is available and how kids know where those assignments are. For us they are in Canvas and they are optional and my kids don’t choose them so we do them at home.

Just like a kid who is behind or has a learning disability, you need to be more involved. Try to do that without being “that parent” who created more work for everyone and you will likely get help from your school.[/quote]
