The Literacy and Humanities Bureau is offering an early enrollment opportunity for educators to take AIM's Pathways to Proficient Reading: Secondary, a comprehensive, 55-hour course designed for middle and high school educators who are committed to learning about the connection between reading research, theoretical models such as the Simple View of Reading and Scarborough’s Reading Rope, and the best practices for language and literacy instruction in the classroom. Participants will learn effective instructional practices that will benefit all students, including linguistically diverse populations and those with language-based learning disabilities.
