[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So would a center or LLIV program that doesn't overwhelm a school using either a Chesterbrook or Wolftrap/Flint Hill model be enough of a change to make AAP work for everyone? This seems to still work well enough for AAP students and bright students who don't qualify for AAP while not ostracizing anyone else in the school.[/quote]

One size does not fit all. FCPS is too diverse and too large a school system for that.  In the areas where there are high concentrations of AAP qualified students, the Chesterbrook model works well.  IN areas where there are few students per school grade that qualify, the center model works well.  [/quote]

Summarized beautifully.[/quote]

Why exactly dues a Chesterbrook model not work at an AAP center?[/quote]

It could work in a modified way. Chesterbrook is LLIV and all students are in the neighborhood so it is harder for the students to figure out who is in what class and why during the day.  With a Center model, it would be obvious from the start who is AAP and who isn't since there would be an influx of new students in 3rd grade. Plus, with a LLIV is it easier to buyild community as everyone already lives in the same community.  It is harder to build community when families are spread out.   [/quote]
