AIG Identification Pathways

2019-2022 AIG Plan

Pathway 1:

Advanced aptitude at or above 96th percentile on a nationally-normed aptitude assessment.

Pathway 2:

At least one advanced aptitude and one advanced achievement score at or above 90th percentile in corresponding areas* within a 2-year window.

*CogAT Verbal corresponds with Reading Achievement.

*CogAT Quantitative and Non Verbal corresponds with Math Achievement.

Pathway 3:

Demonstration of a pattern of advanced achievement at or above 96th percentile on at least two same-content assessments within a 2-year window.

Pathway 4:

Demonstration of achievement through multiple criteria, including a performance task. Pathway begins with a referral.

The process for Pathway Four is as follows:

1. Referral from a teacher, a parent, the AIG Services Committee, or a self-nomination.
2. The site-based AIG Specialist collects data including achievement scores, aptitude scores, Renzulli Scales, and teacher observations.
3. The AIG Specialist presents the data to the site-based AIG Services Committee using the Multiple Criteria Rubric. Students who score 8 or more points on the 16 point rubric will be given a performance task.
4. An ACS AIG Specialist from another site will administer the performance task to the student at the student's school.
5. At least three members of the district AIG Specialist Team will score the assessment using the performance task rubric to determine if the student's work meets the criteria for identification.
