3 Purpose of this Gifted Learner Parent Guide The purpose of this guide is to provide information about the following: Iredell-Statesville Schools District Gifted Education Program Process for determining students who receive gifted services for the school year Gifted services available through Iredell-Statesville Schools Rights of parents of AIG students Iredell-Statesville Schools Vision for the Academically or Intellectually Gifted Program The vision of the Iredell-Statesville Schools Academically or Intellectually Gifted Program is to support the current North Carolina definition of giftedness as stated in Article 9B by identifying gifted learners, nurturing and addressing the needs of gifted learners, providing academic rigor with high expectations for gifted learners, and by providing training, support, and resources to promote teaching excellence that will enable gifted learners to achieve their potential and be successful in a globally competitive world. Iredell-Statesville School s Mission for the Academically or Intellectually Gifted Program The mission of the Academically or Intellectually Gifted Program is to rigorously challenge students by recognizing, cultivating, nurturing, and offering opportunities for continued growth by providing differentiated educational services beyond the regular education program. Iredell-Statesville Schools embraces the current North Carolina definition of giftedness to identify students in need of differentiated services as academically or intellectually gifted learners. 3
4 National Association of Gifted Children s (NAGC) Definition of Giftedness Gifted individuals are those who demonstrate outstanding levels of aptitude (defined as an exceptional ability to reason and learn) or competence (documented performance or achievement in top 10% or rarer) in one or more domains. Domains include any structured area of activity with its own symbol system (e.g., mathematics, music, language) and/or set of sensorimotor skills (e.g., painting, dance, sports). - See more at: North Carolina Department of Public Instruction s (NCDPI) Definition of Giftedness Article 9B (N.C.G.S. 115C-150.5) Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG) students perform or show the potential to perform at substantially high levels of accomplishment when compared with others of their age, experiences, or environment. Academically or intellectually gifted students exhibit high performance capability in intellectual areas, specific academic fields, or in both the intellectual areas and specific academic fields. Academically or intellectually gifted students require differentiated educational services beyond those ordinarily provided by the regular educational program. Outstanding abilities are present in students from all cultural groups, across all economic strata, and in all areas of human endeavor. 4
5 How Students are Identified in Iredell-Statesville Schools Nurturing Programs Schools have accessible to them K-2 nurturing programs that can be implemented with specific types of learners to help nurture gifted characteristics. These programs can be implemented by specific teachers at schools at these grade levels and/of Differentiation Specialist. In Kindergarten through Second Grade: Teachers collect work samples and assessment data GPS Team reviews the submitted samples and data to determine IF further testing is needed. 5
6 In grades K-2, a total of 40 points must be obtained through use of two criteria required for AIG identification. In grades 3-12, a total of 30 points must be obtained through use of three to five criteria required for AIG identification. The CogAT is administered to students in third grade throughout the district as a Universal Screener. In fourth grade and beyond, the CogAT may be given to students who have points based on the criteria for AIG identification, and lack a qualifying aptitude test score. Students obtain their points through their performance on aptitude, achievement, and grades. These points are outlined below. K-2 nd grade students must score 40 or more points to qualify for gifted services and scores must solely come from aptitude and achievement. 3 rd -12 th grade students must score 30 or more points to qualify for gifted services. If a 3 rd -12 th grade student obtains points, first complete a learner profile to see if qualifications can be obtained. If a 3rd-12 th grade student s learner profile does not qualify him/her for services, the student may then complete an AIG portfolio instead. Aptitude Achievement Final Grades Alternative Pathway (only use points from one) Total Points = 30 pts = 20 pts = 10 pts. Reading = 10 pts = 5 pts = 3 pts. Reading = 10 pts = 5 pts = 3 pts. Reading SIGS Slocumb-Payne > 130 =5 pts = 5 pts =4 pts = 3 pts. AIG Portfolio = 5 pts = 3 pts. Reading Reading Math Math Math Math Math Levels of Service and Services offered by I-SS Gifted Learning Department Level I Level II Level III Level IV Regular education classroom Flexible grouping Differentiated services Differentiated Specialist consultation _All Level I options and _Cluster classroom _Classroom teacher trained in gifted practices & strategies _Differentiation Specialist direct and indirect support All Level II options and Subject advancement Dual enrollment All Level II options and Grade advancement Level I students are students who transfer into Iredell-Statesville Schools with AIG identification from a previous school district. We accept that identification and provide Level I services until further testing is warranted. Most I-SS AIG-identified learners are Level II students. Some qualify for more advanced options provided via Level III and Level IV services. 6
7 Alternative Pathways Learner Profiles and Portfolios If students do not obtain enough qualifying points with aptitude, achievement, and final grades to be identified, they have two other options to obtain the additional points needed. Learner Profile First, students are provided the option of a learner profile, completed by the student s teacher to obtain missing points. These learner profiles are research-based and are entitled Slocomb-Payne Teacher Perception Inventory and the Scales for Identifying Gifted Students (SIGS). If the learner profile does not receive enough points for identification, the student may choose to complete an AIG portfolio to obtain missing points if in 5th, 7th, or 10th grade. Only the learner profile points or the AIG portfolio points may be used to make up for missing points from ability, achievement, or final grades, not both. Portfolio The portfolio process is an alternative pathway for identification for students who do not obtain enough qualifying points with aptitude, achievement, and final grades to be identified. Parents are notified and sign permission for the portfolio process to begin. Portfolios should include five exemplary work samples completed at school in the area of consideration. Students and teachers reflect on each sample, and a teacher recommendation is included. Portfolios are evaluated by the portfolio screening committee using a rubric for scoring. Passing portfolio scores take the place of missing points for identification. 7
8 Differentiated Education Plans (DEPs) Elementary DEPs are individual plans for students that serve as communication between students, teachers, and parents about goals for students throughout the year. Middle school and high school students complete their DEPs via Canvas so that parents, teachers, and students can easily access and update them online. DEPs are written/updates four times per year for elementary students, three times per year for middle school students, and twice per year for high school students. Elementary DEP 8
