Ø  AIM students are only responsible for concepts missed while in AIM class.  AIM students should not be penalized for assignments missed while they are in AIM class.

Ø  If AIM students miss classroom time to work on long term projects because of AIM class –

Pace AIM kids separately and give alternate due dates AHEAD of time

Ø  Classroom teachers should avoid scheduling tests or presenting new units on the days when AIM students are in AIM class.

Ø  AIM students can have the option of completing missed work.  It is OK for the teacher to hand students copies of missed work with the understanding the AIM students have two options:

1.    AIM students can choose to complete the work to turn in for a grade.

2.    AIM students may look at the work to understand the concepts, write “AIM”
at the top of the page, and turn in for a “No Grade” in the gradebook with
no penalty. Document in Skyward a “NG” for no grade with a notation for student being in AIM class.

Ø  Debriefing prior to or after AIM class to cover important material / content from regular class. – AIM pow wow. AIM students should NOT be kept in from recess to complete classwork or go over content that was missed while in AIM class.

Ø  Homework assignments that AIM students are responsible for completing on AIM days must be preplanned for the entire class, NOT work that wasn’t finished during classtime.  Classwork missed while in AIM should not be finished as homework.

Ø  AIM students are responsible for turning in any assignments due, from the previous day, to the classroom teachers before going to AIM class.  Teachers should initiate plans for student accountability that do not take away from required weekly GT hours.

Ø  If a student has been ABSENT from school for any length of time, make up work should be done at a time other than the designated AIM class time. If a student has been ABSENT from school on their AIM day, make up work will be given to the student from the AIM teacher, not the classroom teacher.
