[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised to hear the negative comments concerning AARTs.  Our school has an incredible person in this role.  She teaches a specials class (all grade levels) that is super engaging and enriching.  I see her working with children in one-to-one or small group pull outs.  I know for my child, these were a highlight of the day in K-2.  She handles a ton of administrative work for AAP - packets for sure but also curriculum and new initiatives.  Maybe my perspective is different because I volunteer in the school every week and I actually see her interacting with students, but in my opinion, her role is vital.  I know for my family, she advocated for my gifted child to have additional acceleration beyond level IV, which took a lot of coordination with the county to achieve.  Without her work, we would be removing our children to private school or possibly home school.  Our situation is perhaps unique, but I am immensely grateful for our AART.
