AIG stands for A cademically I ntellectually G ifted. Each state has its very own set of guidelines and
policies in place from its legislative board. North Carolina has been fortunate enough to have our
legislation governing gifted education since 1961. Please click on the link just below to view the
North Carolina K-12 Article 9B. This document outlines the current legislation mandating
​the identification and also the services for gifted education in the state. 

NC Article 9B

North Carolina Definition of Gifted
The NC definition of AIG Students, Article 9B, retrieved from the
North Carolina Academically or Intellectually Gifted Program Standards Document is:

Academically or intellectually gifted students perform or show the potential to perform at substantially high levels of accomplishment when compared with others of their age, experience, or environment. Academically or intellectually gifted students exhibit high performance capability in intellectual areas, specific academic fields, or in both the intellectual areas and specific academic fields. Academically or intellectually gifted students require differentiated educational services beyond those ordinarily provided by the regular educational program. Outstanding abilities are present in students from all cultural groups, across all economic strata, and in all areas of human endeavor.

​​Mrs. Hinnant's Philosophy of Gifted Education
My definition of giftedness is a quality that some student’s posses, where they display academic or intellectual
advancement from the rest of their grade level peers. Concepts or ideas come naturally to these students with little
to no review or re-teaching necessary. I feel it is very important to provide these AIG students with appropriate
differentiation and not just giving them extra work. We want to help nurture our AIG student’s talents and
abilities by tapping into their higher order thinking skills. Appropriately differentiating lessons is
​necessary to help these students grow academically.
