AIG Curricular Goals

AIG Specialists in grades 3–8 enrich and extend SCOS goals and objectives. Additionally, AIG students will:

• Gain awareness of themselves as individuals who have unique academic and social-emotional needs.

• Engage in meaningful work that strengthens independent, critical, and creative thinking skills.

• Foster independence in identifying and solving meaningful problems.

• Articulate thoughts and ideas effectively in increasingly complex contexts.

• Think critically about humankind and demonstrate social responsibility in a global community.

• Collaborate effectively with diverse teams to accomplish a common goal.

• Commit to learning as a lifelong process and demonstrate accountability for one’s own learning.

In addition to grade-specific integrated concept-based units, AIG specialists teach lessons from each of the AIG Curricular Strands. Critical and creative thinking skills are embedded within each strand.

AIG Curricular Strands:

• Social-Emotional Needs of Gifted Learners

• Humanities/ Literacy

• Mathematical/ Logical

• STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics)
