[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When DCPS starts tracking, test in classes, starts gifted programming in 3rd grade like every jurisdiction around us, most parents are not going to choose their local school. [/quote] I thought MCPS doesn’t start this until 4th, & only for a very small group of students, and that Arlington doesn’t do it at all at the elementary level?[/quote] Arlington does identify gifted kids and they receive differentiation within the regular classroom. Kids can be referred by parents and teachers at any point to be evaluated by the committee, but they also test all 2nd graders and begin giving services to those ID’d through testing in third grade. They do “cluster” gifted kids in order to deliver services within the classroom. [/quote]
