[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was identified as gifted in K. He started enrichment in 1st, but it has taken off in 2nd. He gets twice weekly pull outs. He has a separate folder with projects he has been working on (which seem like a lot of logic games/critical thinking type things). He gets enrichment math problems to take home (typically word problems that require a bit more thinking than his regular math that is just equations).

His teacher also has him as a special class helper for other kids in the class (so he helps kids work through problems if they are struggling). [/quote]

What’s a pull out? I thought Arlington didn’t do that.[/quote]

They do it schools where there isn’t a cohort in each class. So, if there’s only one kid identified in a given class, they might pull that child and the two other students at that grade level to work together. That’s how it was for my kid, identified by a teacher before testing id’d additional kids and then they were placed in a cluster within a classroom for push-in services the following year. [/quote]
