AIM Pathways

This AIM Pathways module provides an introduction to dyslexia, a language based learning disability that is estimated to affect 5-20% of the population. The content of this module explains the origin of dyslexia, key characteristics of the disability, and the necessary elements to support these individuals inside and outside of the classroom environment. 

AIM Pathways is an interactive, digital, professional development platform designed to strengthen educators’ knowledge and skills in the science of literacy instruction. Course content is aligned to the International Dyslexia Association’s Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading. Online coursework is accessible at your convenience—24 hours a day, 7 days a week, anywhere there is an internet connection. In order to translate theoretical models into classroom practice, AIM Pathways courses are designed to follow a Learn, Practice, and Apply cycle: ● Learn – Participants acquire knowledge by interacting with video lectures, articles, animated videos, and more. ● Practice – Participants practice newly acquired knowledge through card-sorting exercises, quizzes, and surveys. ● Apply – Participants apply their understanding of the content to real-life simulations and case studies. These in-depth, multi-step scenarios give educational leaders a chance to hone their diagnostic and prescriptive decision-making skills for instructional programming.
