[quote=Anonymous]The biggest problem with AAP is that it's all or nothing across all subjects.  This means that some portion of AAP kids will be on or below grade level in either math or reading, and will then slow down the AAP class for everyone else.

Kids who are on or below grade level should be in gen ed and not AAP for that subject.

Kids who are around 1 year above grade level could be well served in a LLIV type setup.

Quite possibly, kids who are 2 grade levels ahead could receive differentiation for that within the LLIV classroom.

LLIV for most would mean that some group of kids would be in AAP for math & science, but gen ed for language arts & history or vice versa.  That would be ideal, since their needs would most appropriately be met that way.  Currently, kids like that either get into AAP and slow down the class in their area of weakness, or they are excluded from AAP and do not receive the advanced instruction in their area of strength.

The very few kids who are more than 2 grade levels ahead should be eligible for a real GT program in a center.  [/quote]
