[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Not the PP you quoted, but just curious. My AAP coordinator seems a little squirrelly about the whole process and the classroom teacher just referred me to the AAP coordinator. Should I take that to mean that my child (who is in the screening pool) will not get a recommendation from the school? My understanding is that I can request a copy of the GBRS after, but can I get anything before? [/quote]

It depends what you mean by "recommendation."  For every child in the pool, the school must put together a screening file and that file includes the GBRS.  So they will rate your child according to the criteria on the form.  Obviously some kids are rated a lot higher than others in the various categories.  [b]They're not really "recommending v. not recommending" children as much as they are assessing to what degree the children demonstrate various gifted behaviors.[/b]  If they give high ratings in all the categories, that would of course be a stronger endorsement for that child to be in the Center, and by the same token, they are free to say that a child does not demonstrate gifted behavior in some (or all) categories and that would indicate to the screening committee that maybe the child does not need to be in the Center.
