I sent the AIG teacher some questions. I have listed them plus the response from the teacher. Does it seem that my child will really get much from these classes? See below for my questions and her answers:
1) When children are in AIG classes with you, are they actually doing core Math and core Language arts?
AIG teacher: I only see the students for 60/week in ELA and Math. I do not work on their core subject, but I do go deeper into the content to extend and enrich what they are currently learning.
2)If so, is this the work that they are graded on?
AIG teacher: Students receive a semester report from AIG.
3) If not, what do they do in your classes?
AIG: Again, this year we have worked on extension projects.
2) Do you work with the teacher to determine what work the child does in his/her class?
AIG: I work with the teachers to differentiate for the students, but not specifically what work a child does in the classroom.
