[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP isn't a gifted program and that is part of the problem. With a gifted program you can set specific test scores and look for specific performance indicators. AAP is all over the place.

Maybe there should be one AAP class for every 4 classes in an ES. The top 25% of the kids are in that class. If your school has 6 classes, maybe there are 2 classes and the top 33% are in those classes. Use the CoGAT, iReady, grades and Teacher evaluations. Kids can be moved each year based on their performance. Remove the [b]special application process [/b]and [b]the special designation[/b]. Make it less about being identified as advanced andmore about performance n school. Make it more fluid so that kids who struggle can be moved out and kids who start to excel can be moved in.

I don't think that the once in, always in model is useful.

I think the entire application process turns it into some type of desirable prize for parents. [/quote]

What's the special application process and the special designation?[/quote]
