[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know whose names go on the form. The point is whose opinion counts. The admin can't really have a valid opinion other than make sure that the work samples warrant the rating. [/quote]

Principal here: it’s truly a group decision. I do know the kids and take the time to observe them in class. And I know the ratings scale. The AART and the teacher have their viewpoints as well. We ask each other questions about the child, and we look at the work together. We come to consensus and collaborate to write the comments using the exemplar statements for each category. [/quote]

How would you know which kid to observe in class if they are not in the pool by the NNAT?

And is it true (like another poster said) that GBRSs from non-center schools are higher than those from center schools? [/quote]

Typically, principals or assistant principals visit 2nd grade classrooms in the fall so they can start to observe the kids in the pool based on NNAT scores.  And then once they can do that for the rest of the kids from December through February.  Their visit is typically very short 5-10 mins each classroom so I can't say they collect significant data from those visits.

It all depends on which center school we're talking about but generally speaking central schools have a lot more kids and more kids who are smart and advanced in math and reading..etc. so naturally it's more competitive and that includes GBRSs too. [/quote]

I don’t think I agree that on average in grades K-2 Center schools have smarter / more advanced kids. [/quote]

Center schools are twice big as local schools or sometimes three times, so you don't think there are more kids and more of smart kids there?[/quote]
