[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP: It does not work that way at schools.  Maybe your school, but not all schools.[/quote]

This is the way it works at all FCPS schools.[/quote]

See page 5 of the Local Plan for the Education of the Gifted.

This document does not require a GBRS done on every child in FCPS.[/quote]

Quoting from page 5 - Part III:  Screening, Referral, Identification, and Service Procedures:

(second paragraph)

[b]All K-8 grade students[/b] are considered for advanced academic services through an annual review 
of ability test scores, achievement test scores, progress reports, [b]and a gifted behaviors rating 
scale  (Attachment B)[/b].  The advanced academic resource teacher at each elementary school 
reviews data for students at that school and collaborates with classroom teachers and other 
school professionals to identify students who need additional challenge through Level II and III 
advanced academic services.  All decisions are made by the committee using the guidelines in 
the GT Testing, Screening and Identification Procedures Manual (Attachment C).

(fourth paragraph)

[b]Beginning in kindergarten[/b], the Advanced Academic Resource Teacher (AART) places student 
data into a database (Attachment E).  [b]This database[/b] includes ability test scores (if available), 
achievement test scores (if available), [b]and a score on the gifted behaviors rating scale[/b].  [b]The 
database is used by a local screening committee to decide which students need school-based 
services (Levels II or III) and in which academic area(s).[/b]  In addition to the database, referrals 
(Attachment F) are accepted from parents or legal guardians, teachers, professionals, students, 
peers, self or others.   Each year the AART documents services received and materials used for 
each student on a record of services form (Attachment  G) which is kept in the student’s 
cumulative file.[/quote]
