Teacher Identification Process
The flow chart below demonstrates the process teachers are to go through to nominate students for the academically and gifted (AIG) program. The requirements for teachers to identify students is a simple process and looks like this:
- Evaluate data such as IQ test results, EOG scores, benchmark results, in class observations, math entrance exam, Renzulli inventory assessment
- Create a list of students who they think show potential for success in the AIG program
- Present the names of students being nominated to the AIG committee along with appropriate reasonings for the placement
- At this point the AIG team reviews the information and makes an informed decision on an individual student basis. If the student is deemed one for the program the classroom teacher does not need to proceed any further. If the team does not believe the AIG program is the right fit for the student, the teacher and team will have to create a Differentiated Education Plan (DEP)
Student criteria for entrance to the AIG program. Please note this is currently under advisement of the AIG district team and is being reevaluated. Please check back here frequently for additional information and criteria.
