achievement to ensure appropriate service to meet student needs.
Goals: This section does not need to be completed based on the chosen category of the practice.
Description: Annual Reviews of each AIG identified student are conducted by the School Based
Committee for Gifted Education to determine possible needs for change in service levels. Service
levels may be increased, reduced, or remain the same based on collected evidence. Any students
experiencing academic difficulty in K-12 may be provided with an Instructional Support Plan in an
effort to encourage, assist, and promote their success in the academic setting.
The Differentiated Education Plans (DEP) for elementary and middle school students are developed
at the beginning of each academic year by regular education teachers and the AIG Resource
Teacher. The DEP is reviewed and amended as needed during the academic year. Differentiated
Course Plans(DCPs) are written yearly highlighting AIG program goals, content, and evaluation for
each student. DCPs are amended as needed during the academic year. Both the DEP and the DCP
are reviewed during the Annual Performance Review process. Parents can request a meeting to
discuss any recommended change in service level that is made by the School Based Committee.
The High School Differentiated Education Plan (HS-DEP) indicates areas of service for students in
grades nine through twelve. A copy of the high school DEP is provided to parents of identified
students at the end of the eighth grade academic year. Accelerated high school students are served
through honors and advanced placement classes and International Baccalaureate classes, if
available. Differentiated Course Plans are highly developed and describe the course goals, content,
and evaluation.
Planned Sources of Evidence:
• Differentiated Education Plans (DEPs)
• Differentiated Course Plans (DCPs)
• Annual Review Documentation
