Welcome to AIG at Olive Chapel Elementary!
This website has been created so I can share what's happening in the AIG world at OCE with our school community. It is my hope that by visiting this site you will get a better idea of what we do each day. Click on the three bars at the top left side of this page to access the different pages of this website. Is there something missing you would like to see? Let me know by sending me an email (asheehan@wcpss.net) or a note in with your student. Enjoy your journey!
AIG Teachers - Here at Olive Chapel Elementary we are fortunate enough to have 2 AIG teachers to support our AIG students and our teachers.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to either AIG teacher for support. Click on the teacher's name to learn more about them.

Gifted Education at OCE - At OCE all classroom teachers provide in-class differentiation for all of their students. This differentiation is designed to meet the needs of each individual learner. When it comes to our highly capable students who may need additional support we provide the following enrichment programs (in addition to their in-class differentiation):
Explorers - In 3rd grade we begin the official identification process for AIG. This starts with Explorers. This program provides additional enrichment time for the 3rd grade students who are showing exceptional abilities. In the beginning of the year all 3rd graders receive instruction from the AIG teacher. As the year progresses this changes to smaller groups of our highly capable students. These groups are flexible and guided by data that shows which students would benefit the most from additional enrichment.
AIG (Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted) - (This requires AIG identification.) Direct instruction from the AIG teacher is provided for students who have been identified as AIG in Math and/or ELA. This occurs at least once a week for 45 minutes. AIG is primarily in grades 4-5, but students can be identified in any grade. Students in third grade are typically identified sometime between March - April. They receive direct instruction after the entire identification process is completed.
SSA (Single Subject Acceleration) - (This requires SSA testing identification. All testing was completed in the spring of 2017. Testing will be offered again in the spring of 2018.) SSA is offered to all students who qualify. Students who qualify will grade skip in either Math or ELA. Instruction will be provided by a 1-5 teacher or via an online module program. Students in grade 5 who are completing the online module will work independently and not receive direct instruction from a teacher. Any student can be nominated and tested during the assigned windows. Testing only occurs once a year. SSA is not an AIG service. It is provided by the county and is separate from AIG. Please go to the SSA tab at the top of this page for the most complete information regarding SSA.
