[quote=Anonymous]I've only been here for a few years, & I think I've decided that this area is a little nuts. Outside of math, there is no reason why a good teacher can't teach a heterogeneous class all the while challenging the kids who need it while supporting the kids who need support. It's being done all over the country. This district has the resources to ensure it would be done well here. Dedicate good professional development to differentiation - support it - create teachers who are really good at it. I'm a former administrator (different state) - I've seen it done really well. What this district has created is not a gifted program anymore anyway... It has created the "prep" culture & has added to the pressure that is put on kids. They've encouraged everyone to read "How to Raise an Adult," but have created a culture that feeds exactly the opposite of what the book suggests!! Crazy. Figure out how to accelerate math for the kids who need it & create excellent teachers who can teach everything else to ANY child. Before I'm accused of being anti-AAP - I am the parent of an AAP student at a center & a GE student at a base school. I've been through a different style GT program myself, & I have an older child out of school (was not in this district) & out in the real world. I don't at all wish she had gone through school here...[/quote]
