In the Classroom
What Does AIG Differentiation Look Like at MMS?
Our students, their work, and our teachers can best explain what AIG differentiation looks and feels like. We hope you find them helpful in learning more about your AIG student's experience at MMS!
General Features
Services for AIG identified students include differentiated curriculum and instruction in language arts and mathematics while in the general education setting. Classroom lessons are differentiated as needed through:
- Content--the "what" students study
- Process--the "how" students study content
- Product--the way in which students demonstrate their mastery of content
The AIG teachers collaborate with general education teachers and occasionally provide direct instruction to extend and enrich grade level standards for students demonstrating need.
Please know that the services available at each school depend on programming and number of students served. You may hear or see the following terms. Click the links to find out more about what they mean:
You can find more information about the AIG services and plans for those services available at the following resources:
Advocating for Differentiation
Advocacy for (and by!) students begins at the teacher and classroom level. When asking whether a student is receiving appropriate differentiation in their classes we'll want to know if you (or your student) have reached out to the teacher first. Here are some resources for helping parents prepare to speak with teachers:

Math I and II
In the 2017-2018 school year WCPSS transitioned to the Mathematics Vision Project, or MVP, curriculum for NC Math I. NC Math II courses will begin using this curriculum in the 2018-2019 school year. MVP is a way of teaching secondary mathematics rooted in the Standards of Mathematical Practice. A description of how MVP's daily lessons and longer modules lead to mathematical understanding can be found starting in paragraph three of this document.
