[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not a screening committee, but rather a rating committee. There is a difference.  More to the point, thereof no lliv eligibility committee.  Non center eligible children may be placed in lliv classes for one year but not the next[/quote]

Rating? Rating based on what? Do they have the "rating system" or whatever published somewhere?

It's the gbrs.  It's my understanding that the local committee compiles the file and determines the gbrs.[/quote]

[b]How do teachers contribute to the screening process?[/b]
Teachers may refer students for advanced academic services by completing and submitting the AAP (Level IV) Referral Form. In addition, classroom teachers are members of the Local Screening Committee. [b]The Local Screening Committee[/b][i] reviews student work samples, anecdotal evidence of students' academic potential, and teacher input [b]in order to complete the Gifted Behaviors Rating Scale with Commentary[/b][/i] (GBRSw/C) www.fcps.edu/DIS/aap/forms.html.

To complete the GBRSw/C, students are rated in four areas: exceptional ability to learn, exceptional application of knowledge, exceptional creative/productive thinking, and exceptional motivation to succeed. In the commentary portion of the GBRSw/C, teachers and educational specialists provide relevant anecdotal information that supports the rating scale.

Please note that because input from FCPS staff is included in the GBRS w/Commentary, recommendations from individual FCPS teachers will not be accepted.[/quote]
