[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Committee of whom? I suspect a child should be reviewed at least by people who work with, otherwise they cannot observe any behaviors. Since they are still humans, there could be bias. Tests are just less biased.[/quote]

The Local Screening Committee.

[quote]The (Gifted Behavior Rating Scale with Commentary) GBRSw/C is completed by a committee [b]made up of administrators, classroom teachers, the Advanced Academic Resource Teacher (AART), and other support teachers within the school[/b]. All teachers receive training from the AART on how to collect evidence and how to complete the GBRSw/C.  The school district has created videos to show teachers how these behaviors look in classrooms with students from diverse cultural, ethnic, and linguistic backgrounds.  The videos are used as part of the training that all teachers receive on how to use the GBRSw/C.  During the committee meeting, each child is discussed and members share work samples and examples to support their rating, and then the committee come to consensus for each category.  The teachers’ observations are merged into a single GBRSw/C form and only one completed GBRSw/C may be submitted. [/quote]

If you haven't already, you may wish to read the FAQ on the FCPS website:

Scroll down to [b]How do teachers contribute to the screening process?[/b]  and  [b]What is the Gifted Behavior Rating Scale and how is it completed?[/b][/quote]

Rather than doing a scavenger hunt on fcps.edu , DC's AAP packet will list the folks on local school committee (teacher, AART, principal, asst principal, etc) - just ask for it from the school front office[/quote]
