[quote=Anonymous]What makes me crazy about this conversation (other than the casual racism) is that MCPS used to be better at this than they are now!

If we start from the assumption that there are highly able kids in every community, and it is a social good to identify those kids and give them appropriate insruction, then the question becomes how to you identify and nurture that talent even in kids whose families are not able to give them extensive exposure?

We know the answer, and the infuriating thing is that MCPS used to do it.

Key steps:

Identify highly able kids by 3rd grade using a mix of standardized tests and teacher recommendations

Extend differentiated instruction to those kids through break-out math classes, ELC, and Saturday School opportunities.

Encourage parents of highly able kids to consider CES and other magnet opportunities, including by ensuring interpretation at any parent information events and ensuring that they understand the logistics

Continue to provide differentiated instruction in math and ELA in home schools for kids whose parents choose not to change schools. [/quote]
