One great solution is the AAP for ALL model where all students are in AAP and expectations are raised for all. [/quote]
Our ES is doing this. It's called the cluster model. Everyone is getting the AAP curriculum. Children are grouped/switch classrooms for math.[/quote]

(An entire class worth of children left for the Center because of this, LOL)[/quote]

At our school, the cluster model means that the LIV students are spread out throughout the regular classes but they're not doing AAP curriculum for all. The LIV kids just get 'differentiation' which seems to be no different than K-2, which was basically nothing.

While I love the idea in theory of doing AAP for all, the problem is, the way I'd want it done would be to actually move at the AAP pace, which, let's face it, all the kids just can't keep up at that pace. What do you do for those kids? Fail them? Pass them even though they didn't learn the material? Provide them enough support (hours of individual tutoring after school, instructional assistants in the classroom, etc.?) that they can go at that pace with the AAP kids? In practice, the only way to really *do* this is the water it down approach, at which point... what's the point?[/quote]
