I've seen this sentiment a lot in recent threads on this topic.  DH is an AAP teacher in Fairfax County.  When he first started the job, he wasn't a certified AAP teacher.  He had a certain amount of years (maybe it was 5, I forget) to complete the training and earn the special certification.  Right now at the center where he teaches, each year existing teachers are reassigned to fill needs for more AAP teachers (and the shrinking need for general education teachers) - many of them do not have the certification and are given the usual amount of time to get the certification.  What I'm telling you all is that this is not a new thing and should not be a major concern for parents of AAP students.  Hopefully this eases some concerns.[/quote]

Highly qualified teachers are but one element of the Readiness Checklist. The other elements include a critical mass of students identified for Level IV services, a school plan for Level IV services & extracurricular activities (e.g., Math Counts, Science Olympiad etc.), facility readiness, and transportation.[/quote]

Understood.  I just wanted to address the qualifications of the teachers.  I don't really think that part is a concern.[/quote]
