Academically & Intellectually Gifted Program
CFCI’s K-8 AIG Program provides relevant, rigorous, and equitable opportunities for gifted and high-ability students to optimize performance and potential through nurturing, enriching, extending, and accelerating learning and critical thinking skills.
State Definition of AIG Students, Article 9B N.C.G.S. § 115C-150.5
“Academically or intellectually gifted students perform or show the potential to perform at substantially high levels of accomplishment when compared with others of their age, experience, or environment. Academically or intellectually gifted students exhibit high performance capability in intellectual areas, specific academic fields, or in both the intellectual areas and specific academic fields. Academically or intellectually gifted students require differentiated educational services beyond those ordinarily provided by the regular educational program. Outstanding abilities are present in students from all cultural groups, across all economic strata, and in all areas of human endeavor.”
Goals of the CFCI AIG Program:
Identify academically and intellectually gifted students through equitable practices in kindergarten through 8th grade
Provide students with challenging and stimulating inquiry-based learning experiences that foster and nurture their abilities and talents
Differentiate, enrich, and extend the core curriculum to challenge gifted and high-ability learners
Provide students with enrichment and extension opportunities that capitalize on the student's individual academic and intellectual strengths, interests, abilities and talents
Provide opportunities for gifted learners to spend time with students similar to themselves to foster cognitive, academic, and social growth through purposeful groupings
Prepare and implement relevant, appropriate, and culturally-responsive professional development to empower teachers to reach, challenge, and support gifted learners, academically, intellectually, socially and emotionally
Create partnerships with stakeholders (students, parents, teachers and community) through regular communication and opportunities for participation in the gifted education plan
Graduate students who are collaborative, creative problem solvers, effective communicators, and critical thinkers
Continue to reflect and improve on CFCI’s AIG Program as a staff and community
