[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year, our school had a virtual AAP “town hall” for 2nd grade parents. The AART stressed the GBRS was determined by a panel of teachers and admin at the school(so not just your child’s teacher) The panel was made up of, child’s main teacher, specials teachers, input from 1st grade teacher, admin and the AART. Our AART met with each 2nd grade class every week up until packets were due. She would give the class a lesson, put the kids in breakout rooms, and have them do creative assignments, ask the questions on the spot etc. It really was all gauged towards getting to know each kid and most likely the AAP packet.

I find this so interesting b/c I just can't figure out how any of these people (other than maybe the first grade teacher, if she had input) knew anything about my daughter.  We go to a huge elementary school. The administrators don't know her. I doubt the specials know much about her, other than maybe the librarian and I don't know if that counts. The AART met with them only every few weeks virtually and I couldn't tell if they had more than 1-2 projects that she would have been able to assess prior to the deadline. Main teacher never has met my daughter, and she's pretty shy/timid online. We ended up with great GBRS but I honestly can't figure out *how* and the whole process is so subjective, especially during pandemic year.[/quote]
