  2. State Definition of an AIG Student These students: Perform or show potential to perform at higher levels of accomplishment when compared with others of their age, experience, or environment. Exhibit high performance capability in intellectual areas, specific academic fields, or both. Require differentiated educational services beyond those ordinarily provided by the regular education program. Come from a variety of cultural and economic backgrounds.

  4. Three Questions You May Be Thinking… • How do I support the high-achieving students in my classroom, even though some are not identified as AIG? • What can I tell parents about the processes for AIG identification and what services are provided? • What do I do once I have AIG-identified students in my classroom?

  5. How do I support the high-achieving students in my classroom, even though some are not identified as AIG? • Professional Achievement Classes (PAC) in I-SS • Use the personnel resources you have on your campus • AIG School Coordinator • Differentiation Specialist • Instructional Facilitator • Blended Learning Coach • GPS Team • Other Teachers with Gifted Professional Development • District Resource Room at ADR

  6. How do I support the high-achieving students in my classroom, even though some are not identified as AIG? • If you have a student who is consistently scoring 95% or above on classroom data points, talk to the GPS team about going through the process of recommending that student for identification. • The GPS team will look at classroom data and work samples for K-2 students • The GPS team will look at school data for 3-12 students • The referral process does not guarantee testing or AIG placement.

  7. Differentiated Core Instruction: Tier I of Responsiveness to Instruction (RTI) • Differentiated core instruction provided to all students • Differentiation of content, process, product, pacing, and/or environment • Use of research/evidence based strategies • Use of blended learning

  8. Grades K-2 Ability and achievement test scores 95th percentile or higher Tested on an individual basis based upon the referral approved by the GPS team Testing can only be done once in K-2 Criteria is higher due to the fact only two are used Grades 3-12 Ability (CogAT/90th %ile or higher), Achievement (EOG/93rd %ile or higher) Final grades (93% or higher) Qualifying scores need to be in the same subject area There continue to be multiple pathways for identification (portfolios, alternative assessments, Iowa Acceleration Scale). What can I tell parents about the processes for AIG identification?

  9. What can I tell parents about the portfolio processes for AIG identification? • Students are given the option in 5th, 7th, and 10th grades to complete a portfolio when they have two of three criteria for identification • Parents are notified and sign permission for the portfolio process • Portfolios should include five exemplary work samples completed at school in the area of consideration • Students and teachers reflect on each sample. The portfolio includes a teacher recommendation • Portfolios are evaluated by the portfolio screening committee using a rubric for scoring • Passing portfolio scores take the place of the missing criterion for identification

  10. What can I tell parents about the processes for AIG identification and what services are provided? • Level I Students - AIG certified students transferring from another district • Level II Students K-2 - AIG students meeting the 95th %ile or higher aptitude and 95th %ile or higher achievement requirements • Level II Students 3-12 - AIG students meeting the 93rd %ile or higher achievement/93 % or higher final grades/90th %ile or higher CogAT requirements • Level III Students - AIG students qualifying for subject advancement - 99% in aptitude/achievement/grades in that specific subject area • Level IV Students - AIG students qualifying for grade advancement - 99% in both reading and math in aptitude, achievement and grades; Iowa Acceleration Scale, principal observations, Director of AIG consultation required * A screening list of potential students is kept at each school and updated regularly to reflect current data.
