[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple of years ago when the idea for Cooper to become a center was first floated, Arlene Randall was said by many to not be particularly in favor of the idea. Wonder what made her change her mind.[/quote]

I have never heard Arlene Randall oppose the idea of a Center at Cooper.

[quote][b]At the middle school, students have taken all Honors as local level IV services[/b]
o Many students end up staying at their local middle school
o This year, 4 middle school principals decided to create teams and cluster
students with other center eligible students
o Center eligible students can still go to centers
o There aren’t any new centers being opened
o The clustering is a strategy that principals are implementing
o ? Well received by parents (see the Cooper MS video) although some
have expressed concerns.[/quote]

Signed,

Just wanted to draw everyone's attention to the bolded.  Especially those who insist taking all Honors isn't equivalent to LLIV.  What a bunch of baloney.[/quote]

Yes, at the middle school level, students taking two honors courses are "counted" as Level II AAP, three honors courses as Level III AAP, and four honors courses as Level IV AAP.

More on honors courses from the AAP site:
http://www.fcps.edu/is/aap/honors.shtml

and the differences and similarities between all honors and Level IV AAP at the middle school level are outlined on that page; direct link is here:
