Program Description

The North Carolina State Board of Education established state standards for local Academically or Intellectually Gifted Programs. These AIG program standards articulate expectations for rigorous, relevant, and challenging instruction, and directly reflect congressional beliefs as outlined in Article 9B. These AIG program standards played a critical role in the local AIG programs and plans for the school years 2022-2025. These standards reflect nationally accepted best practices in gifted education. Furthermore, the AIG program standards ensure that the needs of AIG students are met, and the potential of AIG students is optimally developed and nurtured. AIG Specialists and school counselors work to coordinate programs and services to support gifted learners in Onslow County Schools.
