What the evidence confirms
Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG)
Madison County uses universal screening and multiple indicators to identify giftedness while providing differentiated learning across elementary, middle, and high school.
How services work: Gifted Services Teams coordinate classroom differentiation, grouping, enrichment, acceleration, advanced coursework, extracurricular opportunities, and annual service planning responsive to student needs.
How students are identified: Students may be screened annually using achievement, aptitude, work samples, observations, interests, motivation, and educator or family recommendations. Referrals add another pathway, while ACT measures support high-school advanced-course recommendations.
