[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So to me that means there is a different intended curriculum being taught in different classrooms. I mean we don't say all 3rd graders are learning the same curriculum as 1st graders just because they are both learning about fractions.  [b]Again, I think FCPS is misleading when it says that the local level IV programs are the same as the centers[/b] especially if it's admitted that teachers are not able to differentiate within one classroom.[/quote]

FCPS is not saying they are the same. In fact, they are clear as to the difference:

How does Local Level IV differ from the Full-time AAP Center? 
The teachers in both settings are trained in gifted education and teach the same advanced academic curriculum to students who are ready for a highly challenging instructional program in the four core subject areas. [b]The main difference is in the make-up of the class[/b]. All of the students in a full-time AAP center-based class have been identified as center-eligible by a central selection committee and will be coming from several neighborhood schools to comprise the center class. In a Local Level IV classroom, the students are a mix of students who are center-eligible and high achieving students who are capable of working at advanced levels, all enrolled in their local school.

Who in FCPS is saying they are the same?
