[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid got NNAT of 160, Cogat 144, WISC 154 (>99.9%), with every subcategory above 99.5% (newly taken for the appeal).  Somehow his GBRS is 1C2F1O.  The WISC score report went straight his teacher, his AART, and his principle as I believe that the GBRS is biased.  [/quote]

GBRS is totally different from an intelligence test.  It rates the frequency of observed behaviors in the classroom.  While it does seem odd that a child with that high of an intelligence would not be demonstrating gifted behaviors more regularly in class.  That is your case that you need to make in the appeal.  How and where is he demonstrating those behaviors and why are they not being observed in the classroom (and not just that the teacher doesn't like your child).

Did you submit a parent questionnaire with your referral package? Did you write strong and clear examples for each one? I don't know how much weight that carries (because parents are biased), but did that show the committee a side your teacher might not see due to _______ (fill in the blank for the classroom factors).[/quote]
