[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a APS teacher who has worked at multiple APS schools over the past 15+ years. Parent referrals (or teacher referrals) are rejected when there isn’t enough data to support an identification. I’ve seen this happen on multiple occasions. [/quote] What kind of data is/isn't compelling for a first or second grader? I don't think my kid is some kind of special genius snowflake, but neither am I and I got a ton out of gifted services growing up in the DMV area. She scores 98-99th percentile on all her standardized tests (DIBELS, math, Cogat... but not NNAT). Positive report cards and teacher feedback, with extra enrichment in reading and math. She takes initiative on things like learning a foreign language and instrument, practicing chess, writing stories and poems. Is that the kind of thing these committees are looking for? I appreciate any insight.... I just want to advocate for her to have a good, enriching experience.[/quote]
