7	Grades 4-8
8	Qualifying Academically and Intellectually Gifted (AIG)
9	Academically or intellectually gifted students perform or show the potential to perform at substantially high levels of accomplishment when compared with others of their age, experience, 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.
10	VERY STRONG - AIG
11	MCI Score of 368 points or higher -	These students are identified AIG and classified as very strong in areas of aptitude, reading, and math achievement. These students will be served through the AIG Curriculum.
12	MCI Total Score = (Aptitude (doubled) + Achievement (math and reading) + Grades) That is an average score of (180 + 90 + 90 + 8 = 368)
13	Qualifying Reading and/or Math
14	PCS defines AM or AR as those students that possess high aptitude and demonstrate outstanding performance in mathematics or reading over the course of the academic year
15	VERY STRONG: AM or AR
16	MCI Score of 193 points or higher -	These students are identified gifted in either the reading or math area and classified as very strong in that specified subject. These students are able to participate in AIG Curriculum and will receive additional support as determined by the school's AIG Team in the ID subject area and documented on the IDEP (Form 6)
17	MCI Total Score = (Aptitude + Achievement (math OR reading) + Grades) That is an average score of (95 + 95 + 3 = 193)
18	STRONG: AM or AR
19	MCI Score of 183 - 192 points	These students are identified gifted in either the reading or math area and classified as strong in that specified subject. These students are able to participate in AIG Curriculum. Academic enrichment support will be provided as needed in reading and/or math based on student performance at time of support.
20	MCI Total Score = (Aptitude + Achievement (math OR reading) + Grades) That is an average score of (90 + 90 + 3 = 183)
21	Qualifying Intellectually Gifted
22	PCS defines intellectual giftedness (IG) as having ability significantly higher than his/her same age peers as denoted by a score of 95% or higher in one or more areas of a nationally normed aptitude test, yet failing to demonstrate advanced academic achievement.
23	IG - Very Strong
24	95% total composite on Aptitude testing = (95 points or higher on MCI) -	These students are identified as Intellectually Gifted and are able to participate in AIG Curriculum.
25	IG - Strong
26	(MCI Total Score = Aptitude score (95%) based on any of the 3 subtest (verbal, non verbal, or quantitative) score using the CogAT test - OR - other comparable subscores of a nationally normed aptitude test	These students will be identified IG. The appropriate service that is specific to the subtest score will be documented on the DEP. These ID students require separate consideration outside of the AIG Curriculum, that could be provided in a multitude of ways, not just the AIG teacher. This service is a school based decision.
27	Discontinuation of Services
28	The goal for reconsideration of services is to ensure students are meeting basic grade level requirements as outlined in the standard course of study and monitored by end of grade testing.
29	In the event an AIG student is not maintaining academic excellence and If the School's AIG team concludes AIG enrichment opportunities are the cause of gaps in a student’s academic performance, services may be discontinued for a period of time so the student can again adequately demonstrate they are performing above that of their peer group.

32	Serving Potential Gifted Learnings
33	K - 8 Enrichment Opportunities
34	*** GO GROW ***
35	Growing Our Genius by Reaching Our Wonders
36	The goal of GO GROW is to find students that demonstrate behaviors that are associated with traits of giftedness. These students may or may not be performing well academically. However, through a body of evidence, these students warrant opportunities outside of the academic classroom to develop their gifted potential through inquiry based learning that magnifies the social behaviors of giftedness. The goal of this type of service is to draw out and nurture the students’ intellectual and/or academic potential. GO GROW Service is NOT Gifted Identification. Students must meet the gifted ID criteria to be formally identified gifted.
37	Academic Enrichment
38	Students with an 81% on Math and/or Reading EOG or Achievement Test will be added to the watch list. Also see AIG Plan Practice 1B (Page 5), for K-3 Criteria.	Students with an 81% on Math and/or Reading Achievement Test will be added to the watch list. These students are documented on the watchlist sheet and may receive academic enrichment services based on demonstrated content mastery. Services provided for enrichment and acceleration in these cases by the AIG teacher, are a school based decision.
39	ANY student demonstrating content mastery, above their grade level peer group, in a math or reading target area.	Students demonstrating math and/or reading content mastery in an identified math or reading target area may receive academic enrichment services. Services provided for enrichment and acceleration by the AIG Teacher, are a school based decision.
40	Exploratory- Inquiry Based Learning
41	Students with an 81% or higher on an Aptitude test are added to the watchlist and eligible	These students may work with the AIG Teacher to receive high-quality inquiry based instruction, based on student interest, as a platform to recognize and respond to their intellectual and academic potential. How service is provided is a school based decision.
42	Students that demonstrate outstanding potential and have been overlooked in the current AIG ID Criteria.
43	Acceleration through Online Learning
44	Students in Grades 6-12 seeking acceleration opportunites are able to leverage online learning opportunities through Pitt County Virtual Academy and NCVPS.	Parents should talk with the school counselor to explore online options for their child.
45	* Pitt County Schools will provide up to 2 aptitude test for students.
46	1. All 3rd grade students are given the CogAT test.
47	2. At any time after the student's 3rd grade year, a request can be made for aptitude testing through the school's AIG Team. Based on a body of evidence that supports and demonstrates a student's potential for giftedness, a second test may be administered.
48	At any time and at the parent's expense, private testing can be done using most nationally normed aptitude or achievement test. Those results can be presented to the school's AIG Team and used to determine a student's eligibility of gifted services.
