[quote=Anonymous][quote] My advice for the parent letter: use the GBRS categories as your guide and give specific examples of the ways your child has demonstrated those four categories, using the same language they use in those scales. If you can, tie in the additional work samples you submit into the letter. Don't say your child is bored in school and don't blame the teacher for the lower GBRS scores, but if you can explain why your child didn't demonstrate these traits in this year's class as much as she does at home or in other contexts (such as outside activities), that might help. Explain how and why your child needs AAP to thrive and succeed. I think the work samples we submitted were also an important part of the appeal. The year we appealed was a COVID year, so my child had several samples from [b]online classes in creative and poetry writing and advanced math puzzles that we had signed her up for to pass the time[/b]. For each work sample, I included a short description of how the sample demonstrated one or more of the GBRS categories as a caption to the work sample. [/quote] I know this is off topic, but I am desperately looking for good writing/story/poetry classes for my 7 year old, who is very advanced in reading, and good at writing, but could definitely benefit from excellent online programs. The homeroom teacher, who is new to FCPS, is still settling down and did not really save any of LO's work samples. So, having some samples from these programs would be a bonus to add to LO's AAP file. Any recommendations are [b]highly[/b] appreciated!![/quote]
