working on the IAS for my son
Thank you for sharing this good news.
If the results of the
IAS do not recommend whole-grade acceleration at this time, possibly the results may be utilized to advocate for other advanced curricular opportunities:
- Some schools may use the IAS to prepare a complete record of a student's scores and "thoroughly discuss the case and to consider other curricular options and recommendations for the student."
(Manual page 34) For example, single-subject acceleration.
- A student performing above the 50th percentile on above-level material may be ready for "more challenging material".
(Manual page 120) - Consideration is given to the student being successful under the expectations of the new environment and also being successful in the long term.
(Manual page 5) Page numbers were provided above so that interested parties may locate and read the selected statements in context.
