[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the qualifications for an AART?  Do they have sufficient training in developmental psychology, or cognitive science?  I would assume that they have to hold a degree in one or more technical areas, since they are responsible for teaching "critical reasoning" and assessing the students on their Gifted Behavior - is there a place where any of this is published?  It seems that the AAP program is growing at a much faster pace than they would be able to hire reasonably qualified individuals. [/quote]

I was an AART.
You have to be a certified teacher (usually elementary ed for ES) and you have to have 4 classes in gifted education.

Instead of the classes, you can take a TON of workshops to get "Fairfax" certified, which is actually more specific to FCPS, and although I am no longer in the role, I can tell you is better than what is offered through UVA, JMU or William and Mary.

They have the best in the field as their employees, and bring in experts to train teachers.

In some schools, other professionals have the state gifted certification or are Fairfax certified.

It is rigorous, and valuable. [/quote]
