Call to Action: ML/AIG Students
Our commitment to fostering diversity and inclusivity within the classroom is steadfast. We strive to ensure that every student, regardless of their background or linguistic proficiency, is provided with opportunities to excel and reach their full potential. In this pursuit, the ML/Title III and the Advanced Learning and Gifted Education teams are working together in an effort to recognize ML Students whose exceptional abilities and talents often remain concealed within the complexities of language acquisition. We are pleased to share a Call to Action paper: Strategic Actions to Realize Equity and Excellence in Gifted Education for Multilingual Learners.
Multilingual Learners Brief Oct2023.pdf
Plans are underway for professional development across the state. A sql report 'Academically or Intellectually Gifted/ML students' will soon be active in PowerSchool. If you have any success with identifying ML students as AIG, please email ESLTitleIII@dpi.nc.gov. We would love to highlight your story!
