N.C.G.S. § 115C-150.5-.8 (Article 9B) provides a state definition of giftedness and outlines expectations around identification and delivery of appropriate services for gifted learners. As a result of Article 9B, each local board of education is mandated to establish a plan which outlines the different types of services provided in a variety of settings to meet the diverse needs of identified academically or intellectually gifted students. Additionally, the NC AIG Program Standards have been developed to serve as a statewide framework and guide Local Education Agencies (LEAs) to develop, coordinate, and implement thoughtful and comprehensive AIG programs. Given NC’s strong foundation, it is important to consider the following guiding principles when adapting AIG programming to meet the needs of AIG learners all day, every day, even in a remote learning environment: Different contexts, same expectations; Different paths, same destination; Preparation for success; and Continued flexibility.
