[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the reason. If it’s because they have a 145 Cogat and are so bored they’re making up their own work and aren’t even trying on the regular assignments, it won’t hurt and might actually help. If the Cogat is borderline and they’re getting 4s for effort, probably not so great. [/quote]

W[b]OW, I am quite surprised you think that the grades don't matter! The school committees before giving out GBRS check through the marksheets. They won't give high GBRS to a child who is at 2 or 3 across Math Science SS or LA regardless of their Cogat or NNAT scores. Yes, they may give high GBRS to kids who are 2s or 3s in citizenship skills as long as they see consistently 4 on key subjects. Thus, the title L4 AAP program![/b][/quote]

That is total BS and submitted by someone who knows very little about the AAP program and how it works!  A standards based grading system is not what AAP screening is about.  The NNAT and CoGAT scores far outweighs whatever is on the report card.  The GBRS is heavily tied to teacher's feedback and if the kid is receiving 2 and 3s because of executive function skills, that will be discussed with the AART teacher before GBRS is assigned to the student.  If the students is consistently showing the nine markers for AAP learning, even with 2s and 3s on the report card, the GBRS score will be quite high.  [/quote]
