Seems like a way to weed out 2E students.

I’d like to see a sort of profile generated for every kid that says, here is where this child may have strengths and here is how those strengths could be cultivated. Some of this would be done through school (AAP), some through partnerships with community sports and arts programs.
But AAP itself has a narrow focus— academics— and the identification process should be focused as well.

It’s great to recognize that our kids have strengths in all kinds of areas and that they all have value. But why would you use this type of data to accelerate a child in the four main academic subjects?
This!!
A kid who is a stellar artist does not necessarily need advanced math and reading. Why is that relevant?

Some info I found on the HOPE scale.

A copy of the scale is found above.
I think it is interesting. I wonder if they are going to ask the Teachers to write out explanations for the given scores the way they did for the GBRSs.

I think we will have to wait and see. I hope the teachers took a class on how to fill it out appropriately.

The new HOPE survey also adds 3 new academic areas for a teacher to consider when recommending a student for AAP:
World Languages , Visual Arts
, Performing Arts

It is more fair and equitable than the old GBRS assessment.
It makes it easier to see that they're not (never have been) looking for a number (such as 15-16 or 4COs).
PP is referring to the old GBRS which had a 16 point scale.
The new HOPE is more of a multiple-choice survey. It asks teachers interacting with a potential AAP student how often the student is observed exhibiting certain academic traits.
Compared to GBRS, it emphasizes different talents sought for the program, in an effort to introduce a diversity of talents missed by GBRS. This will broaden the pool of AAP students and bring unique insights among the cohort of AAP students. For example, questions on the HOPE survey include how often a potential AAP student:
- Shows compassion for others.
- Is sensitive to larger or deeper issues of human concern.
- Is self-aware.
- Has intense interests.

How is it more fair and equitable? Has anything else been changed in this year's app process?
I know they look at IReady scores now
