The AIM Institute for Learning & Research is proud to announce a multi-year partnership with the New Mexico Public Education Department (PED) to deliver required, evidence-based literacy training to all 6th–12th grade English language arts, English language development, and special education teachers across the state. This initiative will utilize AIM’s Pathways to Proficient Reading: Secondary (PPR:S) course and represents one of the first known efforts in the U.S. to include high school teachers in legislated literacy professional development. The training will reach more than 1,000 teachers in year one.

The AIM Institute for Learning & Research is proud to announce the selection of 10 schools for our new AIM Early Reading Success Schools initiative. This fully-funded, yearlong demonstration project is designed to transform early literacy instruction and ensure that more than 1,000 children in more than 60 classrooms across the country are reading at grade level by the end of the school year.

Supported with a $750,000 donation by the Raphael Family Foundation, the initiative provides AIM-led professional learning, coaching, and implementation support per school to help participating teams accelerate reading outcomes and build sustainable systems for early literacy success. The participating schools represent a diverse cross-section of the country,  including rural communities and major cities, and span public, private, and charter school settings.
