see AIG Identification Table

Standard 2 Differentiated Curriculum and

Instruction

Practice B: (pgs. 36-37 & Appendix D pg.101)Standard 2 provides detailed information for the services and programming available to gifted students, students who are highly capable, students who have high academic potential, and students who need nurturing to discover potential.

Co-Teaching and Collaboration The Co-Teaching and Collaborative Consultation Model, commonly

referred to as push-in, will be how most students are served. ES-Weekly services to extend and enrich Common Core

Standards MS-AIG as facilitator; improve services for AIG students within

regular classes to meet learner needs Some gifted students may need to participate in enrichment and

extension activities outside of the regular education classroom, commonly referred to as pull-out, to meet their individual needs. ES-Every AIG identified student will be pulled out of class a

minimum of 3 times each quarter with units clearly communicated to describe acceleration beyond the regular curriculum.

MS-AIG students will be pulled out of class when appropriate for acceleration beyond the regular curriculum.

Co-Teaching Approaches Six Approaches to Co-Teaching:

1. One Teach, One Observe

2. One Teach, One Assist

3. Parallel Teaching

4. Station Teaching

5. Alternative Teaching

6. Team Teaching
