[quote=Anonymous][quote]I have always wondered how FCPS is able to have self-contained classes for this population. I would think it goes against the whole idea of LRE.[/quote]
From davidsongifted.org:

Ability grouping -- Ability grouping involves gathering gifted learners together for programming. Even in schools geared for gifted learners, ability grouping is utilized. Ability grouping sometimes is rejected as contrary to mainstreaming and the idea of "least restrictive environment." However, ability grouping does not restrict any individual based on disability and, in fact, provides a less restrictive environment for high-achievers. Some also argue that removing high-achievers deprives more average students of role models. This is not supported by research, which indicates that students tend to select role models with abilities similar to their own. Ability grouping provides more appropriate role models for gifted students, and fosters an environment where learning and performance are valued.
