[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] APS already has GT clusters of ~12 students per class to follow VA guidelines. The entire change would be having the AAC work with classroom teachers to differentiate content for those learners, as opposed to being focused on whole-class enrichment.[/quote] I agree that's where the AAC should be spending their time. But, data shows that clustering in groups according to the policy isn't being implemented across all schools. Teachers assigned GT clusters are also supposed to have a certain number of PD units in teaching gifted kids, but APS doesn't enforce that. They need to start doing so, that way the coordinator can support the teachers but the teachers are themselves already a bit more prepared to educate high ability children.[/quote]
