PP here - And the teacher was the one who brought up that she was keeping a folder on AAP, so our question was a follow-up.

We asked "what the process is" for AAP. That way she could either (a) just tell us what the process is or (b) give us feedback on our child in regards to AAP. She ended up doing a little of both. I figure it is not bad to get information from the very person who assesses our child's academically.

Agree with PP. It's been my experience with kids in AAP/GT that teachers will bring it up if they think your child is a candidate.

I never brought it up at November conferences. I would schedule a follow up conference in the beginning of January. You can ask then and

Agree! 2nd grade is a potential stepping stone- teachers must have some opinion.
DCs teacher brought up how DC should be in AAP- does that indicate a hopefully good GBRS?
Based on what? Just curious.. please elaborate - thanks
She listed a lot- I'm more surprised the teacher brought it up rather than us asking. It was a good surprise since now we know she'll be an advocate.

When your kid is in the 99th percentile, I think you know they will be in the pool. If not, there is something very wrong with the standards (in fact, I already think there is something wrong with the standards given that kids scoring in the top 5% of the nation are not automatically considered... but surely the top 1% qualifies to be in the pool!!)

I'm not PP talking about NNAT score but DC's score was 155- it looks very likely that DC will be in the pool.

You all can't count on the cut-off for the NNAT remaining the same. It can fluctuate year to year.

the first grade NNAT scores are already out -- so some of us know our kids will be in the pool already. I don't think there is anything wrong with bringing it up.... BUT... IME, teachers are generally ill-informed or hostile to kids going to AAP. That may not be the case everywhere.
How do you know?

Our teacher didn't bring up at all-she said child working on grade level and may need some enrichment activities in math. In pool based on NNAT scores. Didn't take it as a good sign that teacher said child worked very, very hard..
