District AIG Plan
Nash County Public School's Local AIG Plan 2022-2025
The AIG Department of the Nash County School System has developed their local plan based on the NC AIG Program Standards (adopted by SBE, July 2021).
These Standards serve as a statewide framework and guide LEAs to develop, coordinate and implement thoughtful and comprehensive AIG programs. The NC AIG Program Standards encompass six principle standards with accompanying practices. These standards articulate the expectations for quality, comprehensive, and effective local AIG programs and relate to the categories related to NC's AIG legislation, Article 9B (N. C. G. S. 115C-150.5). These best practices help to clarify the standard, describe what an LEA should have in place, and guide LEAs to improve their programs.
This local AIG plan has been approved by the LEA's Board of Education and accepted by the
State Department of Public Instruction.
Nash County Schools Vision for AIG Program
The Nash County Public School System's Academically or Intellectually Gifted Education Program is a part of a continuum of services that promotes and supports the academic achievement of all students while emphasizing appropriate educational opportunities for the academically/intellectually gifted child.
The Academically or Intellectually Gifted Education program believes that students from all cultural and socioeconomic populations can exhibit exceptional abilities and is committed to providing an appropriately differentiated instructional program responsive to the abilities and needs of all gifted learners to prepare them to be globally competitive in the 21st Century. Over the next three years, members of the AIG Department will actively work together to further strengthen our program at all levels to be more comprehensive, challenging, and effective as defined by Article 9B, guided by the North Carolina AIG Program Standards and reflected in nationally-accepted best practices in gifted education.
