[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is so complicated. Does that mean it concludes that reading score is a lot more important than math assessment score to be considered for GT program or enrichment program in mcps? [/quote]

For the CES programs, yes.  But for advanced-style courses at your own elementary school, no.  If your ES uses ELC in grades 4 and 5, for example, prior performance on the MAP-R and in reading and writing is going to be the most important; if your ES teaches compacted math (Math 4/5 and Math 5/6), then the MAP-M and prior math performance are the important factors to get into those classes.  At our ES the ELC class is basically also the compacted math class; there are only 1 or 2 kids who are in one and not the other.  So this cohort has basically spent most of their time together for the last two years.  Fortunately it's a great group of kids -  we are lucky.[/quote]

Just so everyone knows the programs you mention (CES and ELC and compacted math) are entirely unrelated to this second grade parent survey. That “gifted and talented” state identification of meaningless and doesn’t mean your child will or will not receive any different instruction or extra enrichment. [/quote]
