Students can experience reading instruction very differently as they move between classrooms, interventions, and support throughout the day, even in schools using strong curriculum and programs. Over time, those inconsistencies can make instruction feel disconnected for both students and educators.
Join Dr. Devin Kearns, John Bennetts, and AIM Institute for Learning & Research for the launch of Aligning Routines with Tier Bridge, a new specialized reading knowledge professional learning course and tool pairing designed to help elementary literacy teams create more connected, consistent reading instruction.
In this free webinar, Dr. Kearns and Bennetts will join AIM moderators, Literacy Subject Matter Expert/Content Developer Jaime Burse and Senior Content Developer Arlene Sullivan to explore why alignment matters, how inconsistent routines can impact student learning, and how Tier Bridge helps educators make instructional routines visible, organize them in one place, and strengthen consistency across classrooms.
Participants will also experience a live product demonstration using real instructional routines submitted by educators to see how Aligning Routines with Tier Bridge helps schools move from disconnected practices to more coherent, student-centered instruction.

Pennsylvania’s Literacy Leadership Moment
This webinar brings together Pennsylvania leaders, policymakers, and peers from states that have already navigated large-scale literacy change to share practical insights on what strong implementation looks like in practice. Through a candid, leader-to-leader conversation, participants will explore the literacy moves that matter most, strategies for supporting teachers through change, and lessons learned from states further along in this work.
