Identification • Students are identified as gifted at the end of third grade or the beginning of fourth grade. • Students can also be identified throughout 4th-12th grades. • If students demonstrate evidence of giftedness in three of the four areas, they may be identified as AIG (Academically Intellectually Gifted).
Pender County SchoolsIdentification Criteria for AIG Program To be identified as Academically and Intellectually Gifted, a student must have evidence for support in at least three of the four categories. * Qualifying achievement tests must be nationally normed IQ Test- Scores of 130 or above will be considered for students who already receive services through the Exceptional Children’s program. Scores from IQ tests administered outside of the school setting will be reviewed by the AIG Coach during the screening process, but a score of 130 or above does not guarantee identification in the AIG Program.
