[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My experience is from years ago -- DD in in 10th grade now.  But what her school did is to ensure that the AART knew the students by having her teach 2nd grade math.  There were 2 1/2 classes of grade 2...

So the AART and a teacher were familiar with everyone.  The AP (not the P at this school then) was involved too.  I am unsure of her role, but it may be to ensure year to year continuity.  They did not seek input from the first grade teacher except through the "permanent record".  That was because the 1st grade teacher left fcps.

In the end, I saw the commentary and the GBRS.  They captured a reasonable view of my child -- including her anxiety issues as well as what she does well.  Her score was 15.

15 is a very high score.  Did your teacher say she would support your child for AAP or any prior indication for the high score? [/quote]

Both teacher and AART said they would put a "strong package" together.  This was after she did meh on the CogAT (teacher thinks it was related to anxiety regarding the instructions; DD had a question, teacher was not allowed to answer based on the rules.  DD was upset (this is from the teacher.  Yes I remember that conversation)).[/quote]

Our teacher said that she would put a strong package together and support our packet, but what does it mean?  Can they give 10-12 and say it's still a strong package?  What's a strong GBRS score anyway?  Looking at the categories, [b]getting 4s in all of the categories might be extremely hard unless your child is a total genius.[/b]  :lol: [/quote]

My child IS a total genius and got a horrible GBRS. Her FSIQ on the WISC-V is 149. Her GBRS was 9. So there is that . . . . I don't think these teachers know anything and don't trust them. We will give AAP a year and see if homeschooling is really what is best.

That's crazy. That is why I'm glad FCPS does a holisitic approach and not just NNAT, CogAT, and GBRS like people always say they should just do. Imagine if the committee didn't allow you to submit that WISC? I don't have my child's file yet but will ask this week. I hope I don't feel blindsided. [/quote]

What were the NNAT and COGAT scores? You submitted the WISC before the packet was sent or during the appeal? If before, how can a group then sit down and view high scores and still give a kid a 9?
