Durham Public Schools Advanced Academics help your child learn how to think critically through a variety of methods with a focus on becoming independent, confident citizens of learning! Primary age students (K, 1st, and 2nd grades) have an advanced academics specialist come in once a week for thinking skills lessons during "Investigations in STEM," in addition to the specialist seeing small groups of advanced learners during the week that have been recommended by the classroom teachers.
See the "Curriculum" tab to learn more about the curriculum DPS uses for Investigations and how.
At Hillandale, our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade AIG identified and nurtured students receive service delivery through flexible grouping rotations into classes with a certified Academically Gifted teacher. Each subject is taught by these licensed teachers.
I have been teaching in Durham Public Schools for 24 years! I have taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades, in addition to reading intervention and Advanced Academics. Currently I teach K-2 Advanced Academics and I am Hillandale's Lead AIG Specialist. I love learning, being silly, working hard, swimming, reading, puzzling, and being a daughter, wife, and mamma!!!
This website is for ALL learners and we offer educational resources and activities with higher order thinking skills, logical reasoning, and more!
