How are AIG served by WSFCS?

SSIrvin — 2014-11-11 20:01:14 UTC

Students are identified and served by grade level teachers for English Language Arts. AIG classes must have a minimum of 18 students in order to be served. Regular ed students can make up the other spots in the class as long as they can perform with the level of rigor that is being provided. AIG classes are rigorous due to breadth and depth of study, not to the amount of work given. Math classes are extended from the elementary level with the course offerings available to each school site. Science and social studies usually consist of a heterogeneous grouping of students.

How are AIG students identified?

Look at the flowchart to understand how students are identified.

Some terms you might need to know

Look at this glossary for buzz words you might need.

What are some Characteristics of Gifted Children?

SSIrvin — 2014-11-13 00:59:17 UTC

View this video to understand some characteristics of gifted children. There is not a set definition to define characteristics of gifted children, because each one is unique, but maybe this video will shed light on some common themes.

What is Article 9B anyway?

SSIrvin — 2014-11-13 01:01:47 UTC

Article 9B is the state's definition of an academically or intellectually gifted student. An AIG student outperforms his/her peers (a student's age group, those with similar experiences/environment) in specific intellectual realms or specific academic subjects. These students who are identified must recieve educational services beyond those offered in a regular ed setting. The Article mandates the Board of Education deliever information about this population and create a standard definition for the state. The plan further describes responsibilites of local plans and how students should be indentified, served, and supported.

Will my AIG students stand out?

SSIrvin — 2014-11-13 02:25:07 UTC

Does AIG stand for more work?

SSIrvin — 2014-11-13 02:28:07 UTC

It’s a new school year and you’ve been given classes with AIG students. There are so many acronyms in education, it is hard to keep up with which one stands for what. One acronym, parents and students alike, seem to know very well is AIG, Academically and Intellectually Gifted. You have regular classes, AIG classes, ESL classes and EC classes. How are you going to make it work? This padlet will give you some answers to the questions swirling around in your head.

Does it simply mean more work?

How are students classified? What special privileges are students entitled to? Can my students with behavior problems be AIG? How do I teach differently?

Every student is entitled the best education possible and AIG students should receive a quality education of enrichment and investigation, not simply another assignment because they finished early. Use this handbook as a resource to understand AIG and be an advocate for education. Inspire students to be lifelong learners, not just students who “play school” well.

Does everyone know how to study?

SSIrvin — 2014-11-13 02:37:04 UTC

Just because students are labeled AIG, doesn't mean they know how to use their time wisely. The following conversations can spawn organization.

Strategies for Differentiation

SSIrvin — 2014-11-13 02:48:14 UTC

Use the following strategies and implement them slowly as not to get overwhelmed.

Give hints on questions/or not

Provide student with tic-tac-toe board of choices for an assignment

Create some creative enrichment ideas for early finishers

Always have books available

Let students teach other students

Let students lead a self-discovery unit on specific topic

Use Bloom's Taxonmy as questions stems

Use PBL (problem based learning) activities and prepare students for real work.

Blooom's Taxonomy

SSIrvin — 2014-11-13 02:52:57 UTC

Bloom's Taxonomy is very detailed and provides you with high level words to use in you questions.

Go DO IT

SSIrvin — 2014-11-15 20:51:50 UTC

Take some of these strategies and implement one a day/week. You can't become an effective AIG teacher overnight, but challenge yourself just as you wish to challenge your students. Good luck and come back here and post some lessons/strategies that were successful!

Engage students with a Service Learning Project

Differentiate with Choice Boards

SSIrvin — 2015-02-11 22:32:51 UTC

Differentiation doesn't have to mean hard. Use these choice boards to give your students a voice in their assessments.

VTS

SSIrvin — 2015-02-25 22:56:19 UTC

Visual Thinking Strategies explained here. This is a great way to integrate the A in STEAM. More importantly, this is a wonderful strategy to get students thinking about what they see. They are putting into words what they observe and then backing it up. This strategy can be used in any subject to introduce/reinforce topic.

Formative Assessment

SSIrvin — 2015-03-22 17:45:49 UTC

Feedback from students should differentiate your lessons and provide a direction for the next lesson.

Authentic Feedback

SSIrvin — 2015-03-22 17:47:34 UTC

Students should receive other feedback than grades. What can they improve on? How can they learn from their process? Feedback should be authentic and specific, what can students use to become better learners.

Rubric for creating a rubric

SSIrvin — 2015-03-22 17:51:30 UTC

A rubric should be a tool that works simultaneously with the student and teacher to provide authentic feedback and assess task at hand. An effective rubric must be easy to use, easy for the student to understand, and an accurate depiction of assessment.

Rubric for Success

SSIrvin — 2015-03-22 18:27:16 UTC

Use these cues to help spawn authentic feedback for students while creating a rubric. Provide feedback and an accurate depiction of their skill level.
