PRIMARY SERVICE DELIVERY OPTIONS
As described in Standard 1, Practice B, formal identification for AIG services in
Stokes County begins in the spring of grade 3 when testing is more appropriate and
accurate for predicting the need for advanced curriculum. However, classroom
teachers and AIG specialists use a collaborative-consultative approach to provide
appropriate enriched curriculum as needed for advanced primary students. The goal
is to increase differentiated instruction in the regular classroom, and also consider the
use of the Primary Education Thinking Skills program. Currently, the following options
may be used to meet the needs of young advanced learners:
In-class flexible grouping, classroom centers, cross age/multi age classes, technology
training, independent study, grade skipping, or subject acceleration. Reference
Standard 1, Practice B of this plan for information related to identification criteria and
Standard 4, Practice G for procedures related to acceleration options.
