As a teacher, does he have experience with gifted pupils, being part of a school team for advocacy meetings, and facilitating classroom differentiation, grade skip, etc? Possibly he could provide his expertise...?
My concerns aren't with my interaction with the school so much as they have been with what my expectations should be in the schools willingness/ability to provide for her different instruction.
So often the two are related... and you earlier mentioned a concern that
the school would bully you into accepting what it wanted to offer... hence the posts offering advocacy guidance.
The phone call went very well.
Excellent! ...and you followed up with a friendly e-mail documenting the agreements? next steps...? timeframes...? etc
more testing for DYS in the future she would be open to that. I'm thinking that should wait until she is old enough for the WISC so that we don't run into ceiling problems again
It seems this anticipated time frame would be in June 2017? In general, schools are not often fully staffed in the summer months... so advance planning may be needed unless the testing is to wait until the fall of the 2017-2018 school year.
Wishing you all the best.
