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
