Advanced Learning Survey

 I saw this at the district website:

The Advanced Learning department’s family/guardian survey will soon be sent to families. The family Advanced Learning survey results will help the Advanced Learning team determine student eligibility for services.

This is a tool used to gather information on students’ strengths, needs, and cultural wealth in order to fully understand a student’s needs for Highly Capable services. The survey will ensure SPS stays committed to creating opportunities for all students, including those furthest from educational justice.  

Important dates: 

    • January 19: Survey sent out via email to all families of K-8 students. 
    • February 25: Survey closes at February 25, 11:59 p.m.

Once the survey closes, the Advanced Learning department will begin to review results and prepare findings to determine eligibility. More information will be provided regarding next steps in 2022.  

Could someone forward me the survey or give input on what was asked? Thanks!

I read these posts feeling sick to my stomach but it's like I can't look away. How has it possible that SPS and the board continues to grow in dysfunction? Where is rock bottom? So now schools lower on the equity tier will lose their discretionary dollars, access to parent funds, while having increased demand to meet advanced learning needs within the classroom including for students who have perhaps been identified by their parents as "gifted." Wondering if anyone has forwarded you the spreadsheet that teachers are being asked to complete, with supporting data that has not been defined, for advanced learning referrals this year, by Jan. 31. Super awesome extra demand amidst the continued challenges of return-from-remote and continued Covid pressures.

So parents will have little to say about who gets in or not. I'm not even sure parents can nominate their kid anymore.

No, no one forwarded that spreadsheet to me and I would certainly like to see it.
