[quote=Anonymous]Westland is well-intentioned and takes IEP stuff seriously, but teachers -- like teachers everywhere -- are uneven in how they apply the accommodations. You have to stay on top of them. The administration also really supports the implementation of IEPs and that's great. The execution of GT is less good, I think -- although again, this is more MCPS than Westland. The level of the students is generally pretty high so there's a certain amount of challenge for everyone, but the continued identification and challenge that's part of real GT doesn't really exist. One teacher, for example, based her GT recommendation for a child on whether that child had handed in homework on time. And it's the teacher's designation in individual classes that gets the child recommended for GT the following year. Even if they do get "GT" on their transcript, it doesn't mean much. [/quote]
