[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...Letters should be from people who know your child in other settings and can speak to specific behaviors indicative of AAP - examples would help, not just "he's very bright."[/quote] how could a, say, soccer or any other sports coach speak of academically gifted behavior of a player? [/quote] Persistence? Willingness to accept new challenges? Works well under pressure? Ability to work cooperatively in a team environment? Leadership skills? AAP isn't just about being smart. That's why they stopped calling it "gifted and talented". None of these things are on the GBRS, but they all show how a bright child has the behavior traits to handle a more challenging curriculum.[/quote] Actually, I take it back. Some of these things ARE on the GBRS. I'd hand a copy of it to anyone who was writing a letter for my child, ask them to pick 3 or 4 of the sub-items and give specific examples.[/quote]
