[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not worry about GT designation in APS. At my elementary school, it meant a small group was pulled out weekly to do math games. Kids are placed in different math levels already within classes and among teachers, and your kid can select math classes, as desired beginning 6th grade. My experience was that an overwhelming number of kids identified as GT in my local elementary school were red-shirted boys ([b]of course a 7 to 8 year-old first grader reads better than my kid who turned 6 during the school year[/b]). Oddly, the one stupid place that GT status matters is if your kid wants to apply to certain governor's school summer programs during high school.[/quote] NNAT and cogat are age normed.[/quote]Which one does APS use?[/quote]
