AR AIMS is a valuable program that provides outstanding professional development and classroom resources which have helped me drive my instruction to serve my students better.

"I felt more prepared to help my students when I had my AR AIMS mentor who I could go to with any questions."

Fall conferences and mock readings help fill in the gaps with up-to-date, well-researched strategies to help in my classroom. Every year I add a few of those to my tool-box.

I can honestly say as a science teacher for over 25 years, the AIMS initiative and its resources have been the most powerful tool I have used to better myself as a teacher.

Teachers gain confidence in their ability allowing them to coach their students to produce better exam responses. The ultimate benefit goes back to the students.

Every year I return to my school with strategies to help my students. An added plus is simply being with other English teachers to spur each other on.

This workshop provided exactly what I needed, quality activities/lessons that were standard-aligned.

Through AR AIMS, I have refined my instruction of close reading strategies, prompt deconstruction, competent thesis statements, and strong analytical commentary.

Because of the resources, the teachers, and the consultants that you have provided us, the students have gained so much and have had the opportunity to succeed.

The entire Arkansas AIMS team has been instrumental in helping me help my students achieve their academic goals.

Our presenter did a fantastic job! Really! He was on point and kept the pace moving at a productive pace. He was motivational, humorous, enlightening, and empowering.

The science hands-on workshop was informative, practical and incredibly helpful.

AR AIMS has been a steady source of positive influence on my teaching for most of my 20+ year career.

Everyone was involved and motivated. Follow up on how to encourage all levels of student learning. One of the BEST inservice workshops I have had in my 34 years of teaching!

Last year, 82% of my students earned college credit on the Lit exam. Their phenomenal success is due to the high quality training, resources, and support I have received from AIMS!
