[quote=Anonymous]You can negotiate all you want with admins and teachers, probably to little avail since DCPS really just cares about PARCC results at the ES level. Upper grades students are heavily prepped for the tests and teachers are motivated to teach to the test because their IMPACT evaluation scores are tied to PARCC results. With no law on GT education in DC, in DCPS you're at the mercy of a admins and teachers good graces in providing a GT student with appropriate challenge. Some DCPS elementary schools are quite good about differentiating within classrooms, other not nearly as much. We've had far better math instruction at Mathnasium than in the most gentrified DCPS ES East of (Rock Creek) the Park. The best thing about our DCPS ES was the excellent music teacher. He got our kids rolling on playing wind instruments, although DCPS lacks a formal program for instrumental music instruction in ES. My middle school kids play in competitive wind instrument ensembles at Strathmore through the MD Classic Youth Orchestras program (MCYO).[/quote]
