Local AIG Plan, 2010-2013 Page 24 of 67 7/12/2010 Teacher in collaboration with the classroom teacher directs this option. Differentiated Learning Centers: Students who have mastered the basic curriculum and require additional enrichment may work in a classroom learning center for specific units of study. Learning Contracts with Management Plans: Students may participate in a specific learning contract within an academic area of need for exploring and advancing a specific academic interest or proficiency that cannot be provided in the regular education setting. The AIG Resource Teacher in collaboration with the classroom teacher assists with formulating the contract and determining how it will be managed. Learning contracts are agreements between the classroom teacher and AIG Resource Teacher and student. Learning contracts allow the student to work independently on materials related to an identified unit of study extending and enriching the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. The regular education teacher generally determines contract assignments, although students should be able to make choices within or modifications to these assignments. To be effective, it is important that contract goals be realistic and that teachers meet regularly with the student to provide instruction and to monitor progress. Learning contracts have clear goals, essential questions, content, and evaluation. Individualized Learning Plan: Students may participate in an individualized learning plan. The regular classroom teacher and AIG Resource Teacher in conjunction with the School Based Committee for Gifted Education collaboratively develop an individualized differentiated learning plan. The plan for individualized instruction is tailored to the unique educational requirements of the student; the plan is recorded on the Individualized Differentiated Education Plan (IDEP).
