AIM Pathways for North Dakota Structured Literacy Training
AIM Pathways comprehensive courses help educators gain knowledge and acquire tools to put the Science of Reading to work in your classroom and schools. Since 2022 more than 2,100 North Dakota educators have grown their knowledge in structured literacy instruction through NDSoR: Reaching All Learners, a comprehensive course developed by AIM Institute for the South East Education Cooperative (SEEC). FREE to North Dakota educators thanks to supported funding from the N.D. Department of Public Instruction.
Now the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction is partnering with AIM to provide additional literacy learning opportunities for dyslexia training to assist educators and leaders in serving all students and to meet the state's goals to provide:
- Educator Dyslexia Awareness Training
- Dyslexia Support Systems Development Training
- Advanced Instructional Techniques to Support Students with Dyslexia
