AIM Institute for Learning & Research
The AIM Institute for Learning & Research®, in tandem with AIM Academy, was launched in 2006 with the belief that teachers can best serve struggling learners when they are knowledgeable about current trends in the neurological and behavioral bases of learning and reading. AIM’s vision was to create a bridge between this research and classroom practice, through teacher training in evidence-based practices. Our ultimate goal is to foster a professional learning community hub where top researchers and practitioners can work side-by-side to advance the field of education.
