[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow lots to read but thank you for the summary. Early identification of URM students and early mentoring can help achieve equity without discrimination against another group.  [/quote]

Agreed.  But how do we do this?  Very important issue so I am truly interested in hearing how this can be achieved.[/quote]

I am no education expert. Teachers can start to identify gifted kids from K, you don’t have to be an advanced reader to be gifted. Maybe teachers need to figure how how to identify giftedness without assessing advanced reading and math skills. Parents play a big role in their child’s education and future. Unfortunately gifted kids will be left behind if they don’t have an involved parent. Each title one school should have a mentor for these kids, make sure they are doing what they need to stay on track. The mentor along with the AART should make sure these students to have what they need to thrive and be ready for TJ if that’s where they want to go. [/quote]

And the best part is TJ gets to not have URM or FARMs students for another decade while the experiment is conducted and the data is analyzed. [/quote]

DP, but it's odd that somehow in the midst of a pandemic Brabrand and the School Board decided that one of FCPS's top priorities should be increasing the number and percentage of URM and FARMS students at one school out of the 200 or so schools in FCPS.  It's certainly not like they don't have other schools with demographics that are anything but representative of the county as a whole.  [/quote]

Langley has Tholen backing the status quo. There is no group of TJ voters or diners that a single board member has to answer to. [/quote]
