AIM Pathways for Mississippi

You will not be eligible for CEUs if you miss one of the in-person training sessions. There are only in-person sessions and you must attend those to receive CEU credit.

While completing your work is a priority, we do understand that sometimes you cannot get to it. You can continue to work asynchronously in the course and complete it independently before the final course completion deadline.

Your certificate will not populate in the learning management system until you have

1. Completed the entire course
2. Attended both in-person learning sessions, and
3. Taken your post-assessment. Please do not take the post-assessment until AFTER the final in-person learning session.

You can find your certificate by logging into the AIM Pathways course and clicking on "transcript." 

Yes. Upon successful completion of the asynchronous work and attending all virtual and in-person sessions, you are eligible for three hours of college credit through AIM's partner Arcadia University.

In order to qualify for graduate credits, participants must average 83% for their total grade.

• The Pathways to Proficient Reading and Pathways to Literacy Leadership grades are determined by participation in Post Knowledge Inventory, end-of-section quiz scores, and the virtual community of practice sessions provided during the course.

• AIM assigns a grade upon completion of the course according to the Arcadia Graduate Academic Policies.

• Registration for graduate credits through Arcadia must be complete one month prior to the end of the course. 
• Cost per graduate credits is $150 (Total Cost = $450)
• Graduate credits cannot be applied for after the course is complete.
• Please check with your school district or degree university for their policy on any reimbursement or transfer of credit grade requirement

Arcadia Graduate credit Registration

You must contact Susan Scott (sscott@olemiss.edu) or Brandi Bankston (bbankston@mdek12.org) if you have questions about CEUs. AIM does not process CEUs for your courses.

If participants take the post-KI after the day’s presentation is complete, then they may be dismissed after they complete the assessment.  Participants who have already completed the post assessment may leave once other participants begin to finish. **It is up to the AIM trainer as to what participants who have completed the post assessment work on while others are taking the assessment, but they should have a plan for those participants. 

Participants will not retake the post-KI.  AIM uses the pre and post-KI data to measure a participant's growth in the science of reading. AIM will deliver data to the MDE about the effectiveness the PPR course through pre and post KI measures. Participants should take the post-KI seriously. Course grades are calculated by averaging all end-of-section quizzes, but growth in the SoR can ONLY be measured by comparing the pre and post-KIs!  

Participants must make a course grade of 60% or higher to receive a certificate of completion for the course. They must receive a certificate of completion to apply for CEUs/SEMIs/OSLs.

Participants will not be allowed to change cohorts in-person dates due to testing schedules. In-person session dates were clearly communicated when participants registered for the course and location facility arrangements are based on numbers registered. Participants who do not attend their scheduled in-person sessions will not be able to apply for CEUs/SEMIs/OSLs. 

The average learner won't take more than 40-60 minutes to take the post-KI. It is an open book and open notes assessment. The test MUST be taken in one sitting so participants cannot log off and come back to it at a later time.  

*If a participant is truly concerned with the amount of time they will have, then they may be allowed to take the post-KI on their own after the last in-person session.  The course will not be complete until the post-KI is taken. This will NOT be advertised or communicated until the day of the in-person session. We do not want to cause any undue stress with a time limit for the post-KI.
