Middle Schools:
Unlike elementary school, where AIG students work with an AIG teacher outside of the general education classroom setting, the middle school AIG services are delivered by the math and language arts teachers within the student's assigned class. The AIG teacher works with these teachers helping differentiate the curriculum. The AIG teacher can also "co-teach" with the general education teacher to help with the service delivery. All Wake County middle schools offer advanced services in language arts and mathematics.
