I wish we had this for other subjects as well! Smiles, Grinity Coaching available, at SchoolSuccessSolutions.com

Smiles, Grinity I have not used Ideal Solutions yet, but since one of the authors of this program is Susan Assouline, parents interested in the program may also be interested in the "Developing Math Talent" book she co-authored which make recommendations based on EXPLORE test results and also the thread http://giftedissues.davidsongifted....d_honesty_EXPLORE_scores.html#Post102234 .

That being said, be prepared for a school to refuse to consider information from them just as they may not pay attention to SCAT or Explore scores. Always be prepared for that! But for 50$ it seems like a relatively inexpensive way to bring the impersonal expertise of a non-parent 'to the table.' Smiles, Grinity Coaching available, at SchoolSuccessSolutions.com

This can give educators a good idea of where those gaps might be, as well as an overall idea of what placement might be best for the student within the context of his or her school�s particular curriculum. Thank you for your interest in IDEAL Solutions� for Math Acceleration, and please let me know if you have any other questions! Best, Emily Ladendorf Project Assistant IDEAL Solutions� for Math Acceleration 600 Blank Honors Center The University of Iowa Iowa City, IA 52242-0454 I don't pretend to understand what they are talking about, but am curious to see how this actually works.
