[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi

For my daughter:
2nd grade
NNAT 150
GBRS: 2FO,2 CO

There was a section that says: Accommodation provided for student. A[i]rea of strength in Maths and Reading.[/i]

For my kid,  it is No in Maths.

Question:
a) Do you know what the above means. Are these supposed to be both YEs
b) Her commentary says he is great problem solver
c) What test would you recommend since NNAT is High- should we do WISC or Kaufman or CAS or Stanford

Please provide inputs on how we can make the case. We also changed schools and the daughter was in pull out group in old school. What do you recommend we put in the appeal? The AART is not helping at all.[/quote]

A) I don’t think with answer is supposed to definitively determine whether DC gets in or not but it is a data point that contributes to the whole picture. My DS was in the most advanced math and reading groups in class and was classified as level II, so both boxes were marked “Y” for him. It may be different at other schools but that’s how it worked at ours.

B) do you think your child needs advanced work in math? Do they demonstrate strength in this area and was the pullout at your previous school in  math? Seems that is where you could show a different perspective than what the packet is portraying. Do you have work samples that demonstrate a more sophisticated level of problem solving ?

C) no answer on testing bc this is a weird year but I’d look at the criteria used by the school to create the GBRS and let that guide you on what to highlight about your kid in the appeal.
