Anonymous wrote:At my child's school the AART had at least weekly interaction with the first and second graders, so by the time the GBRS was being filled out she had been seeing the kids regularly for at least a year and a half. Also, the counsellor would come into the classroom for special programs and also sometimes came into the cafeteria and ate lunch with the kids.
I do think that it is rare that only one person on the team has had any interaction at all with a child, although I'm sure it is possible.

The GBRSw/C is a record of observable classroom behaviors. It is not a recommendation or favorable support for or against full-time AAP placement or for other advanced academic services.
The local school screening committee consists of at least three of the following: a teacher who works with the student, the advanced academic resource teacher, an administrator, English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) teacher, and other specialists as needed. The local school committee completes the GBRSw/C and prepares screening files for all second grade pool candidates, as well as referrals.
Just some information from the FCPS parent AAP info package. The GBRS has input from at least three staff members.
