Transylvania County Schools

Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG)

Transylvania County uses ongoing talent scouting, universal screening, and individualized services to recognize giftedness as students' strengths and readiness develop over time.

How services work: AIG specialists coordinate push-in support, clusters, intervention and enrichment blocks, advanced or accelerated curriculum, extension, flexible grouping, differentiated instruction, quarterly K–8 progress reports, and advanced secondary planning.

How students are identified: All third-graders receive CogAT screening, followed by universal review of state tests and college-readiness measures. Families and educators may refer K–12 and students may self-refer in high school; teams use multiple quantitative and qualitative measures.
