Since the onset of No Child Left Behind legislation, local AIG endorsements are no longer possible (See memorandum on page 51). All teachers are encouraged to take AIG courses to increase knowledge, skills, and understanding to better meet the needs of their higher ability students. Elementary cluster teachers, middle school advanced/ resource class teachers and honors/AP teachers are strongly recommended to obtain AIG licensure. Opportunities to serve AIG students in the classroom should be given in the following order of preference to teachers who are: AIG licensed; Currently in process to obtain AIG License and Highly Qualified in subject area preferably with over three years teaching experience; Highly Qualified in subject area and preferably with over three years teaching experience; Experienced in the subject area for a minimum of 3 years.
Trained teachers of the gifted are a necessity in best serving our gifted populations.
