[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being quiet isn’t an issue. I promise I can identify quiet kids who are super advanced/motivated/creative.

I’m sorry the process is so murky.

That's great for your students, but it isn't true across the board.  Some teachers are too busy with the many ESOL and below grade level kids that they won't notice the quiet or shy ones.  Some teachers base GBRS more on executive function than on gifted behaviors.  Some don't understand the gifted behaviors that are being demonstrated.  Sometimes, your kid and the teacher just aren't a good fit together, so your kid tries to fly under the radar and doesn't show much in the classroom that year.

There are cases where the kid gets a lower GBRS year after year.  In that case, the kid most likely isn't demonstrating advanced behaviors in the classroom.
There are also cases where the kid gets a nearly perfect GBRS in K and 1st, a low one in 2nd, and then high again in 3rd.  If one teacher is an outlier, then that teacher probably doesn't understand the GBRS or doesn't like your kid.  [/quote]
