[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach elementary AAP and I have a couple of kids who scored at least a year below grade level in reading, as well as a couple who scored below in math.  One scored below in both.  The scores seem to be somewhat consistent with what i am seeing in class.  I find it useful as a starting point for grouping kids.[/quote]

In your opinion, do those kids belong in AAP?  Isn't it hard to differentiate when you have kids who are several years above grade level, kids who are a year above grade level, kids who are on grade level, and kids who are below grade level all in the same class?  [/quote]

In my opinion - no, they do not belong in AAP.  And yes, it is hard to differentiate and do it well with so many different levels.  But general education teachers have to deal with a wide range of levels  as well, quite possibly with a wider range than AAP teachers.[/quote]  How many are 2E?[/quote]

There are always 1-2 2E students in every class, more often than not, those kids really do belong in the program. In the past few years, AAP has been watered down; the curriculum is less rigorous and is not challenging enough for the students that belong.  It's really a shame. [/quote]
