Structured Literacy Professional Learning for Hawaii Educators and Leaders
AIM Institute is an approved vendor for the Hawaiʻi State Department of Education supporting Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) for Reading and a Structured Approach to Literacy.
AIM’s professional learning helps schools and complex areas prepare for required dyslexia-sensitive screening for K-3 students and the implementation of structured literacy instruction beginning in the 2026-2027 school year. Our work supports both initial training and the sustained implementation needed for long-term impact.
