Gifted Identification in WCPSS
Gifted Identification in WCPSS
AIG, AG, IG
AIG, AG, IG
In Wake County there are three ways of identifying gifted students - AIG (Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted), IG (Intellectually Gifted), and AG (Academically Gifted). All of these students qualify for gifted services. And the way they are all served is exactly the same. The only difference is in what data was used to identify them for gifted services.
Just like SPED and ESL students, AIG direct service is only provided to students who qualify through testing and/or a student work portfolio. AIG services provide an appropriately challenging educational program for students who perform, or show potential for performing, at remarkably high levels of accomplishment when compared to 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 intellectual areas and specific academic fields.

Each week the AIG teacher has the opportunity to work directly with the AIG students on different enrichment and extension opportunities. Everything is based on the grade level curriculum and standards. During this time, the AIG students also get the opportunity to interact closely with their AIG peers in the AIG classroom.
This is done through small pull-out groups that are held during the independent rotation block of their Math and/or ELA blocks.
Students who come to AIG should not miss anything in their general education classroom. AIG becomes their small group for that day. The classroom teachers should adjust their lesson requirements so that AIG students do not miss out on needed learning opportunities while at AIG.
AIG small groups are held once a week for 45 minutes in math and once a week for 45 minutes in ELA. Transition time is apart of this 45 minutes.
