Why use the AIMS in your school?
School leaders are facing challenges in adequately serving students with learning differences and disabilities, often leaving marginalized students and their families to navigate the complexities of the educational system on their own. The AIMS empowers school leaders with information to make informed decisions, fostering inclusive environments. AIMS is addressing this issue by fostering a mindset shift among school leaders, teachers, and students. The first step in improving outcomes for students with learning differences is to gather accurate data on where the teaching staff is in their own mindsets and skill sets in supporting these students.
How was the AIMS developed?
The AIMS was developed in 2023 through a collaboration between Changing Perspectives, The RILEY Project, and Council for Chief State School Officers. The leadership team consulted with a variety of stakeholders within the field of inclusive education and learning differences to design a series of tools that are now available for free through the AIMS. Funding for this project was made possible through the Educating All Learners Alliance.
