Families and students can try this advocacy frame:
“I notice…”
“I need…”
“Could we try…?”
Clear, specific language can turn a concern into a productive conversation. How could you use this framework?

It's been a busy October in the AIG classroom! Some math students started an extra scoop of enrichment by creating their own "I Have....Who Has?" card game. It's exciting to see them achieve another level of success by being active designers! #aesAIG #giftedkidsrock

High standards can inspire growth. Perfectionism can make a mistake feel like proof of failure.
Shift from “Is this perfect?” to “Does this meet the goal, and what did I learn?”
Finish the sentence: “A mistake can show me…”

Steve Wyborney has SOOOO many free resources for teachers to immediately use in their classroom. Primary Tile Questions are a great mix of numbers sense and geometric reasoning. Don't wait to use these with your students: stevewyborney.com/2017/01/pr…
3G AIG students have started writing their mystery seed diaries! We used the book "Weslandia" as our anchor text. They engaged in hexagonal thinking discussions to get them thinking deeper about Wesley's adventures. I can't wait to see how they use their creativity!#aesAIG 🧠🌻✏️

A gifted learner may understand complex ideas yet forget materials, underestimate time, or freeze at a multi-step task. Instead of “You know better,” ask: “Where did the process break down?”
What is most often mistaken for not trying?

Can't wait to see our Aviators at Literacy Night tonight! Our AIG students are super excited to teach their families all about hexagonal thinking and perplexors! #aesAIG #hexagonalthinking
Hexagonal Thinking never lets my gifted students down! One of my AIG groups finished theirwork sooner than expected so I took a chance and added in some Hexagonal Thinking discussion work. An easy shift that extended their thinking. 🧠 #aesAIG #hexagonalthinking
Excited to spend the day learning and making math meaningful! So fortunate to be able to attend the virtual 2026 Math Summit this year with @NCState and @WCPSS. #aesAIG #giftedkidsrock

🌟 Equity in gifted education is not about giving some students an advantage.
It’s about ensuring every student has access to the opportunities and services they need to develop their strengths.
Talent is universal. Opportunity should be too.

AIG students spent our ELA time becoming goal getters! First we spent time establishing a collective understanding of a growth mindset. Then we brainstormed different personal goals using our narrowing protocol. Then they wrote about how they would meet their goal. 🌟🧠📝#aesAIG
It's been a busy (but great!) start to the new school year. We started our AIG work on the third day of school and the students came in ready to go. I am already impressed with their thinking. Here's a peek into our beginnings with data & graphing! ✏️🧠 #aesAIG #giftedkidsrock

I'm a big fan of numberless word problems because they force students to think rather than mindlessly compute. Brian Bushart shares lots of free problems for elementary teachers here: numberlesswp.com/
3G and 4G AIG math students have been playing "True or False?" using their data analysis knowledge and critical thinking powers. 💭🧠🗣️These tasks allow students to discuss & debate with their teammates while also practicing their math writing skills. #giftedkidsrock #aesAIG

Gifted services are not just about advanced content.
They should also help students develop creativity, critical thinking, self-understanding, and opportunities to use their voice.
