[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different poster.

It was made crystal clear at the Nov AAP expansion meeting that fcps was actively trying to increase under represented minority groups' participation in AAP.

If my memory serves me correctly, there was a slide showing that hispanics and African Americans were woefully under represented as compared to their overall percentage in the district and asians were over represented.

Fcps was very open about this goal.[/quote]

If that was their goal, they sure picked an interesting way of approaching it. One would think that if increased representation was truly a goal they intended to achieve, they would have expanded the pool on the FAT to 20%, then gamed the GBRS to produce the results they want. Instead, they used the FAT instead of the validated CoGAT, no age-norming, and limited the pool to the top 5% of a new test. Odd approach to increase underrepresented populations.

I would love to see the FAT results. It's probably an adverse impact horror show.[/quote]
