[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if DC is finishing up 5/6 math, she can go on to AIM in 6th, right?[/quote]

It's a possible, but not guaranteed, pathway.  Here's what they say about going on to AIM in 6th:
[quote]
Students are being centrally identified for C2.0 A.I.M.6.  Schools will be provided a list of students, who surfaced for local enriched programs, and guidance criteria by the Accelerated and Enriched Instruction team.  Parents will be notified directly, if their child has been identified. (As a placeholder, until students are identified by AEI, C2.0 A.I.M.6. should be considered for students who have excelled in Distance Learning.)  C2.0 A.I.M.6. omitts critical standards that are required for Algebra 1. [i]The omitted standards combined with ~⅓ of the Math 6 content omitted during Distance Learning makes this pathway tenuous given the number of MCAP failures in normal years.[/i]

Students who have demonstrated the need for accelerated learning and show insignificant gaps during Spring 2020 COL and 2020-2021 Distance Learning may benefit from the accelerated path. This path will have students complete Algebra 1 in Grade 7.[b] Students considered for this pathway should have consistently high external data as measured by MCAP and MAP[/b].[/quote]

They also discuss two other pathways that would slow down acceleration by a year:  Either 5/6 --> Math 7 --> Math 8 --> Algebra 1 in 8th grade  OR  5/6 --> AMP 6+ (combines math 6 with half of math 7) --> AMP 7+ --> Algebra 1 in 8th grade. [/quote]

Thanks for the info -- I'll keep my fingers crossed.[/quote]
