[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting that FCPS doesn't generally consider SOLs because recent research has shown that performance on standardized tests like the SOLs are more indicative of successful student performance in a "gifted" program than IQ scores.[/quote] Yes, but remember, that the gifted program was designed to meet the needs of gifted kids who learned differently, and aren't as often tied to straight arrow achievement as kids who would generally do the best on SOLs. I think you're misreading the research. To me it suggests that for all its pains FCPS still isn't meeting the needs of real gifted kids for whom the program was originally designed -- but a lot of kids who would be high achievers any way are being pulled out of Gen Ed and put on an advanced track for reasons that don't seem to be supported by state law. [/quote] Irrelevant, FCPS does not have a gifted program. They have an Advanced Academic Program. [/quote]
