Preparing Educators for Structured Literacy Certification with Center for Effective Reading Instruction

We are proud that both AIM’s Pathways to Proficient Reading and Pathways to Structured Literacy courses are IDA-accredited certifying that course work is aligned with the Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading.

This alignment with the Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading means course content and teaching is provided in a manner that graduates can apply the principles and practices of Structured Literacy to support students.

Completion of these AIM Pathways courses with the Virtual Communities of Practice prepares participants to take the Knowledge and Practice Examination for Effective Reading Instruction (KPEERI) and upon passing receive:

Structured Literacy Classroom Teacher Certificate - Following completion of Pathways to Proficient Reading or Pathways to Structured Literacy

or

Structured Literacy Dyslexia Interventionist Certificate - Following completion of Pathways to Structured Literacy and the Practicum.
