Thanks to those of you who were able to attend my
informational meeting at Claxton's Curriculum Night! If you were unable to do
so, I'm happy to chat with you at a convenient moment.
The Asheville City Schools AIG plan is revised on a
three-year cycle and then approved by the Board of Education and the Department
of Public Instruction. A new plan for qualifying and serving students is
rolling out this year.
Changes in our plan highlight our attempts to more closely
match how students qualify to how they are served. To this end, our AIG
Services Committee has met to write new plans for all fourth grade students.
These plans have been completed and were mailed today. Any student who
qualified for services last year still does, these services are just slightly
different.
Students qualify with multiple criteria including
nationally-normed assessments in achievement (reading and math) as well as
aptitude. Fourth grade students will continue to meet with me weekly, they will
just meet in groups determined by these qualifying areas.
Fifth grade students will continue with a once-weekly
enrichment study group - as they have in the past two years. Newly qualified
students will also participate in this service. All student AIG plans will be
rewritten at the end of fifth grade to prepare them for middle school services.
I look forward to further discussions about the AIG program
and how we serve students! Please contact me with any questions, comments, or
concerns.
Have a great weekend.
