[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 of the 477. Happy to answer questions op. [/quote]

per day or week, how much specialized instruction does your student get as a SWD or GT student?

my DD is neither, so she gets whatever is left over, and with such a huge population of both, I worry that being in the middle means you get a lot of independent study time.[/quote]

Do you even have elementary age kids? I have two gifted kids and the answer to how many hours a week of special instruction they get that your child is excluded from is 0. 
APS is a push-in model where the gifted resource teacher provides special lessons and activities to groups of kids that contains more than just the identified kids OR is available to the whole class. They are “May do” activities that sometimes my kid opts into but doesn’t have to. My experience through 4th grade is that the gifted activities are independent study while other kids are being taught the core material or having “independent reading time”.  It also results in my 1st grader spending tons of time on apps while other kids are in “small group meetings” at the teacher’s desk. [/quote]
