LETTER FROM CO-FOUNDERS
PAT ROBERTS & NANCY BLAIR AT AIM WE TALK A LOT ABOUT OUR “WHY.” WHY WE WELCOME STUDENTS TO SCHOOL EACH DAY. WHY WE CONNECT WITH RESEARCHERS AROUND THE WORLD. WHY WE BUILT A TEACHER TRAINING PLATFORM IN THE SCIENCE OF READING. OUR WHY IS OF COURSE THE CHILDREN. BOTH THE 385 STUDENTS WHO EXPERIENCE OUR INNOVATIVE TEACHING AT AIM ACADEMY AND THE CHILDREN WE KNOW WHO CAN LEARN TO READ IF THEIR TEACHERS ARE PROVIDED THE RESEARCH-BASED TOOLS TO TEACH THEM PROPERLY. The 2019-2020 fiscal year was one that saw great upheaval with the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, but also allowed AIM to shine as a resource for educators and in our work keeping engaged, immersive learning happening despite needing to learn remotely. Last December, we had the honor of being asked to speak at the SEI Women’s Network Leadership Summit which featured TED-style keynote talks and a variety of workshops around the theme “Lift Each Other As We Climb.” Our talk was titled Don’t Wait for Someone Else to Build Your Dream and can be found here. We shared our journey and partnership working to find the best education for our daughters and to the ultimate founding of AIM, celebrating the growth of AIM Academy, and the launch of AIM Institute training teachers and partnering in research. We also discussed 5 lessons which continue to apply to the work that we all do at AIM each day. 1.
Acting on your dream is easier with a partner: This spring our AIM partnerships were thriving as we came together with members of the Haskins Global Literacy Hub and the newly formed Educating All Learners Alliance to cultivate, curate and create - in the case of our Pathways to Practice resources - free tools that educators and parents could use to support literacy education for children. 2. Culture is key: When passion and purpose drive a culture, it permeates faster. This can be seen everywhere at AIM whether it is launching new STEAM service and learning opportunities for students or allowing students’ passion to drive their on stage achievements.

DON’T WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO BUILD YOUR DREAM 3.
Starting something new requires an entrepreneurial spirit: Our innovative spirit still thrives at AIM. It is not always easy breaking new ground, but the spirit of innovation and flexibility allow for growth whether it is adding more than 20 states and 5 countries to our list of educators learning the AIM model in Pathways to Proficient Reading or a young student creating and marketing a game to help dyslexic students like himself in a young entrepreneurs program. 4. Research = relevance and credibility: AIM’s commitment to research is unwavering both in our partnerships with researchers allowing us to share our Research to Practice Symposium with more than one thousand educators and in our participation in furthering science with ongoing research with students in our IGNITE Center EEG lab. 5. Be fearless. The greatest risk is AIMing too low: We know that fearless learning requires innovative teaching. Being able to celebrate the accomplishments of our Class of 2020 this summer at their graduation was a reminder that you should always AIM high. One of the things that made our experience at the Women’s Leadership Summit even more special was knowing that some of our own AIM student leaders were watching in the audience. Dara S. and Tea S., now members of our senior class, shared with us that the event’s theme “Lift Each Other As We Climb” was meaningful to them and that they were excited to hear our story and thanked us for changing their lives. Dara and Tea are just two small parts of our Why and we are pleased that our dream, with the support of teachers, staff, families, alumni and donors continues to change the world. Best, Pat Roberts and Nancy Blair

IMPACT A GROWING LEADERSHIP TEAM
This spring, AIM welcomed long-time education administrator Dawn Brookhart to the new leadership role of Associate Director of the AIM Institute for Learning & Research and announced that Middle School Division Head Dr. Ed Gallagher, would serve as AIM Academy’s interim Head of School. Dr. Gallagher and Associate Head of School Dr. Grace Ashton assumed their roles in July following Head of School Chris Herman’s move to New York with his family. The new role for these leaders, and the addition of Chrissy Mellon, who is serving as AIM’s Interim Head of Middle School, to the AIM leadership team, continues to allow AIM to further its vision and mission to provide innovative teaching based in the Science of Reading to our fearless learners and to help scale the AIM Pathways online teacher training platform.
“Dawn knows first-hand the work it takes to introduce the science of reading into schools,” explained Nancy Blair.” As a former educator herself, she understands how to work with teachers to support all readers.”
AIM MIDDLE SCHOOLERS CREATE ADAPTIVE GAMES Over the past several years, AIM MIddle Schoolers have visited the Widener Memorial School in Philadelphia to better understand the challenges and successes associated with students who have various physical and medical disabilities. Last November, 8th grade STEM students interviewed their Widener student buddies and gained a better understanding of how they could invent, create, prototype and complete a specialized game. Students built, wrapped and delivered their gifts to Widener and spent time playing the games and showing them to their peer buddies.

THOUGHT-PROVOKING STUDENT-DIRECTED DRAMA Student producer Gabe Seplow ‘20 brought fellow Upper School actors together last winter for impactful smallaudience performances of Eric Ulloa’s 26 Pebbles examining the school shooting at Sandy Hook. Although the topic was a dark one, AIM was proud that our students tackled the difficult subject of gun violence in a play that focused on the words and experiences of the Newtown community as they struggle and move forward. The students performed for their peers, families and AIM staff in an intimate setting with audience and cast all on the stage of the ACC.
AIM FEATURED ON WHYY MOVERS AND MAKERS AIM’s unique educational model supporting children with learning differences and the AIM Institute for Learning & Research were featured in April 2020 on WHYY’s Movers & Makers. The episode’s theme, Pioneering Women, highlighted the journey of AIM co-founders Pat Roberts and Nancy Blair and the ways, as parents looking for the best way to educate their daughters, they ended up pushing the boundaries of conventional education for children who learn differently. The almost 7-minute story includes an interview with AIM alum Jay Sydnor ‘15.
EXPANDING THE REACH OF AIM PATHWAYS The AIM Pathways teacher training platform is sharing the Science of Reading and changing instruction in classrooms across the country and world. With partners and course participants in 16 states and 4 countries, the digital platform, with content designed on AIM’s own curriculum and teaching methods, now offers three different courses to educators interested in learning more about literacy and reading. With partners including the Kansas Department of Education, Teach for America Philadelphia and KIPP New Orleans, AIM Institute facilitators are working with educators to improve all students’ outcomes. Learn more about creating a Culture of Literacy in this video conversation between Pathways partner Centennial School District Principal Ernie Ortiz and AIM Research Advisory Board Member Dr. Julie Washington.

AIM HANDS ON - SUPPORTING FRONT LINE WORKERS The doors at AIM might have been closed this spring, but our tech tools were still in action as STEAM instructors Kathy Brandon, Rob Ervin and Doug Markgraf brought the school’s 3D printers home and with the help of AIM parent Justin Head began producing face shields for frontline workers. Head suggested the project to AIM after learning about 3D printing to support health care workers in the COVID-19 crisis through MatterHackers, a resource hub for 3D printing. More than 500 pieces were delivered to hospitals, health care workers and caregivers throughout the area.
“ This project allows for a contribution to a cause so much bigger than ourselves. What an opportunity to demonstrate to our students a real-life example of how STEAM and the Design Thinking Process can make a difference in solving 2020 real time problems we could never have anticipated.” KATHY BRANDON - MIDDLE SCHOOL STEAM INSTRUCTOR

HONORING FIRST RESPONDERS AND SUPPORTING FAMILY-OWNED BUSINESSES As we all navigated a new way of learning and living this spring, we enjoyed highlighting and recognizing the members of our community who were spending their days on the frontline of the pandemic. And, as a small business once ourselves, we recognized the power of word-of-mouth marketing and were happy to compile and share our #RiseUpforAIM Small Business Directory.

CONNECTING RESEARCH TO PRACTICE RE MOTE LY AND IN THE CL A SSROOM
8TH ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM EXAMINES THE ROLE OF RESILIENCE More than 1,000 people participated in AIM’s free Research to Practice Symposium in March with experts sharing their work examining the Role of Resiliency in the Classroom. The daylong event included presentations by Dr. Fumiko Hoeft, Dr. Stephanie Al Otaiba and Dr. Maureen Lovett as well as moderator Dr. Tim Odegard and this year’s Hollis Scarborough Award recipient Dr. Mark Seidenberg. The afternoon included a fireside chat with former IDA President and author Nancy Hennessy and APM Reports producer Emily Hanford, whose reporting examining reading instruction has brought conversation about the Science of Reading into the mainstream. We also spent time chatting with our speakers about the importance of partnerships and incorporating research into the classroom. You can find those videos and the Symposium presentation recordings here.

RESEARCH-BASED REMOTE RESOURCE PARTNERSHIPS The rapid transition to remote learning left educators everywhere searching for tools to help support remote learners, especially those with learning differences. In addition to designing and launching our own free Pathways to Practice resource site and joining and contributing to the newly formed Educating All Learners Alliance for parents and teachers, AIM worked closely with Haskins Global Literacy Hub partners to provide easy access to literacy resources vetted by researchers.

PARTNER DONOR SPOTLIGHT
SYLVIA DiBONA Mrs. DiBona, an AIM grandparent, helped launch our Sylvia’s STEAM Dream Mobile STEAM Lab with her generous support. Q. Why is giving to AIM and supporting the new Mobile STEAM Lab idea important to you? A. I felt that it was important to create a collaborative effort that is great for the students at AIM and the students at other schools who don’t have the benefits and materials that AIM has. It is an example of AIM putting two and two together on making the connection between AIM and schools that are in need. Students at other schools will have the benefit of seeing this and creating projects and wondering if they might want to do something STEM related. And our AIM students can be the teachers and also learn about other students’ experiences. Q. AIM is 15 years old, what do you see as AIM’s role in education in the next 15 years? A. I hope that AIM continues to do what they do and be innovative, continue with their teaching model and continue to allow it to grow and change through the years for students who learn differently. Q. What three words would you use to describe AIM? A. It’s really a phrase… “Collaborative different teaching model.” We all need to push ourselves to do better and I think the teachers at AIM have been incredible at gently pushing the children to their capacity.
SYLVIA’S STEAM DREAM A COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM FOR AIM There is a new blue trailer on campus at AIM. This simple vehicle is the future home of a collaborative STEAM program that will allow AIM students to bring a literacy and innovation-based approach to hands-on learning to peers in underserved communities. Sylvia’s STEAM Dream is a mobile STEAM lab where students at area schools can create, explore, tinker and make with tools and materials while being exposed to literature. Sylvia’s STEAM Dream will allow AIM instructors and students to serve as mentors (virtually at first) providing hands-on STEAM activities. The mobile lab will give all students the opportunities and access to tackle and solve real-world challenges while we encourage one’s innate desire to create. The lab seeks to allow AIM to work together with other schools to develop the next generation of critical thinkers and leaders through projects while building curiosity and confidence in STEAM literacy.

AIM STUDENTS SERVING OTHERS •G etting Out the Vote - AIM was one of 24 schools in Pennsylvania to receive the Governor’s Civic Engagement Gold Award this summer thanks to a remote voter drive for students organized by AIM Global Scholar Jaxon G. ’21. The voter drive included texting virtual “I pledge to vote or register to vote” cards to classmates who would be 18 by November 3. Jaxon got 88% of eligible students to return pledge cards in this important civic endeavor. •D ay on Day of Service - For the second year in a row AIM students blanketed the region (and the AIM campus) for a Day On Day of Service on Martin Luther King Jr. Day for a day filled with service projects and educational opportunities. Upper School students partnered with The Impact Center to learn about environmental justice in a hands on way. Middle Schoolers traveled to Girard College and participated in service projects at The Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service, the largest King Day event in the nation and spent the afternoon cleaning and improving the AIM campus. And, Lower School students brightened AIM’s hallway with a mural project, read stories about Martin Luther King Jr. and assembled bags for those experiencing homelessness. •C radles to Crayons Collection - AIM 10th graders Ellie C. and Avery H. led a January service drive benefiting Cradles to Crayons which provides care packages to children living in poverty including everyday essentials like clothing, as well as toys, Ellie and Avery shared: “Since we are fortunate enough to have clothes to wear everyday, it is easy to forget the overwhelming issue of children who are in need of these basic items. 15 million children live in poverty in the United States. Donating to Cradles to Crayons is an amazing way to help support the kids living in this tragic reality.” •B rewing Entrepreneurs - AIM’s Upper School entrepreneurs found ways to get faculty away from the Keurig machines with their creation and launch of the AIM Coffee Cart coffee. The coffee cart mission was to serve high quality coffee that is also sustainable and ethical. Students chose to serve only “Bird Certified” coffee, which goes through a strict process making sure that the producer is growing the coffee without hurting the environment while also treating their farmers with fairness and respect. They investigated different brewing techniques choosing a pour over brew and developed marketing and media to promote their business within school and via social media. The cart launched in January. Co-CEO’s Brandon S. and Shayna P. ’20, AIM’s entrepreneurs of the year, even had the opportunity to pitch their plan at Rising Starters an entrepreneurship pitch competition for high schoolers at Drexel’s Close School of Entrepreneurship in December.

CELEBRATING THE CL A SS OF 2020’s RE SILIENT LEARNER S
The Class of 2020 missed a lot of traditional end of year celebrations expected by seniors everywhere. But tradition abounded at the outdoor August commencement. Seniors listened to personal tributes from Upper School Head Dr. Alli Williams, heard from class speakers Ryan Blackwell and Charlie Foster and listened to songs performed by their talented classmates. Graduates were inspired by commencement speaker Dr. Tracy Johnson who discovered she was dyslexic in college and despite her challenges holds multiple degrees and is an advocate for those with dyslexia. Dr. Johnson shared three lessons she learned with the Class of 2020: “1) Be true to yourself. 2) Build a network of positive people. 3) Remember that the world is bigger than you are.” The community also took time to honor and remember classmate Samuel Ozer and learned that beginning with the Class of 2021, an AIM graduate will receive the Samuel F. Ozer award. (Read about the Samuel F. Ozer Fund and Sam’s Place plans on Page 28 ). The recorded commencement ceremony can be found here.

GROW AIM ALUMNI SHARE FIRST HAND COLLEGE EXPERIENCES We always enjoy seeing AIM alumni returning to campus to greet teachers and friends alike. Last January, when most college students were still on Winter Break, students and parents were invited to an Alumni College Panel Life after AIM. During the evening event moderated by AIM Advantage director Andrew DiPrinzio, AIM alum shared details about their college experience and talked about the preparation for college they received while at AIM. The alumni panelists spanned four years of AIM graduates and included students who attend big universities like Syracuse, University of Delaware and Temple and smaller liberal arts colleges like Franklin and Marshall and Ithaca College. This variety provided our current students with diverse and detailed insight into the college road ahead.
CULTIVATING CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE AND INCLUSIVE INSTRUCTION AT AIM The work of Penn Pritchard, new Coordinator of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and a long-time AIM teacher, was featured in a short film by filmmaker Andre Robert Lee entitled Equity In Action: Pushing for Progress in Our Communities. Pritchard was awarded an Equity in Action Grant from ADVIS and Carney Sandoe to support the development of fidelity tools to formally establish cultural competency as a critical instructional component in all AIM classes. Pritchard has presented their work in numerous venues, including Carney Sandoe’s FORUM/Diversity and the NAIS Annual Conference. Most importantly, Pritchard has teamed with instructional leaders across all three divisions to incorporate this framework and support teachers in the shared goal of centering equity in AIM’s classrooms and wider community.

EXPLORE
Immersive learning is just one of the ways we make school special for AIM students. Opportunities to explore other worlds - whether using VR goggles in the classroom or exploring a castle in Germany - provide important background knowledge for students and help them discover different cultures and ideas. Read more about immersive learning at AIM in this Future Ready Schools blog from last year. Opportunities to explore at AIM go beyond traditional trips. AIM students get to explore science not just in class with dynamic experiments but in an actual EEG lab and by participating in active literacy research. Last year AIM’s IGNITE Center partnership with Haskins Laboratories was highlighted in the International Dyslexia Association’s Perspectives publication describing in detail the Predicting Literacy Outcomes research being carried out in the AIM EEG lab. Read the IDA Perspectives article here and enjoy photos and links to student-created videos of our students exploring the world both in person and online.

SAM’S PLACE - RIDE FOR SAM During his time at AIM, Samuel Ozer ‘20, grew from a shy second grader to a leader among his peers. He developed a passion for engineering and bicycles and was preparing for the next stage of his life as an engineering student at the University of Vermont by working at Trek Bikes of Manayunk assembling and repairing bikes. On Father’s Day, as he cycled home from his summer dream job, Sam was struck and killed by a driver on Henry Avenue in Philadelphia, less than a mile from his home. In the days following Sam’s death, AIM worked with his parents Sidney Ozer and Mindy Maslin to establish the Sam Ozer Fund to honor Sam’s memory and directly support the creation and operation of Sam’s Place. Sam’s Place will serve AIM students and complement existing middle and upper school bicycling programs. The middle school Outride Riding for Focus program provides evidenced-based cycling interventions to improve social, emotional, and cognitive health. The upper school NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association) builds strong minds, bodies, character and communities through cycling. Sam was instrumental to bringing these programs to AIM and we wish to honor his memory with a deserving home for them. More than 633 donations totaling more than $100,000 have been made to the fund and AIM recently learned that Whitemarsh Township has approved plans to open Sam’s Place at AIM. A generous gift from Trek Bikes will enable us to outfit Sam’s Place which will be a hub where students, especially those with learning differences, will develop a passion for cycling and equip themselves with the attitudes and skills needed to go forth into the world as Sam did: confident, prepared, and enthusiastic.

THE COPPOLA FAMILY Q. Why is giving to AIM important to you? A. AIM has made a huge difference in our daughter’s education and self confidence. We feel so very fortunate that we are able to afford her the education she is receiving and we want to help others to afford the same opportunities and experiences. Q. AIM is 15 years old, what do you see as AIM’s role in education in the next 15 years? A. We see AIM continuing its hard work as a thought leader and as the leading research center in the education of students with language based learning differences. Q. What are some of the ways AIM has shaped eduction since 2006? A. Not only has AIM done the research, but they have implemented their findings on what actually works into the classroom. They continue to support small class sizes with multisensory learning. They engage in allowing the students to take charge and run with their ideas, and they have encouraged these kids to find their passions and talents and to find opportunities to showcase them. Q. How did you choose AIM for Mia? A. After a disastrous stint in the public and Catholic school systems we put Mia in a new, very small 1st through 8th grade school in central NJ that specialized in teaching children with language-based learning differences. When she started there were only 11 students and after 3 years there were 31. The socialization and opportunities just weren’t there, and we knew she was going to need a school that accommodated high school as well. We began to research larger private schools in the Princeton area which had incorporated “learning centers” into their curriculum and campus, but we just didn’t see them being a good fit. Through online research, Diane stumbled across AIM and she signed up to attend an open house. As soon as she walked out of the school, she knew that this was the right place for Mia. She came home and told Bob, we have to figure out how we are going to do this, Mia needs to go to AIM. We put our house up for sale and 8 months later, we moved to PA, and Mia started 6th grade at AIM. This year she started in the Upper School and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. Q. What three words would you use to describe AIM? A. Innovative. Caring. Community.

DEBBIE DeLAURO -
ALBERT M. GREENFIELD FOUNDATION AIM Institute and Teach For America announced a pilot literacy project with Teach For America Greater Philadelphia using AIM Pathways with teachers and principals in five Philadelphia schools. The project is supported by grant funding from The Albert M. Greenfield Foundation. Q. Why is supporting AIM Pathways implementation with Teach for America Greater Philadelphia important for The Albert M. Greenfield Foundation? A. The Albert M. Greenfield Foundation has a long-time interest in supporting projects that involve education because the education of our children strengthens the fabric of our community. We are particularly interested in supporting projects that address significant problems, such as literacy, in new ways and have the potential of not just affecting these problems locally, but also can have impact nationally. We see the AIM Pathways platform as an effective way to give teachers knowledge of the Science of Reading so that they then have the tools to teach children to read, and to implement what they have learned with fidelity in the classroom. Making this platform available to TFA Philadelphia broadens the reach of this training program and its effective implementation in the classroom, the result being that more children will learn to read. Q. AIM is 15 years old, what do you see as AIM’s role in education in the next 15 years? A. It has been a personal pleasure to see AIM’s tremendous accomplishments since 2006. In the next 15 years, I believe that AIM will continue its leadership role in bringing new insights and programs to further our understanding of the Science of Reading. AIM’s partnerships with researchers and research organizations will most likely continue to create more opportunities to identify needs through a different focus which in turn will drive the practice of teaching children how to read. Q. What are some of the ways AIM has shaped eduction since 2006? A. Providing teachers with the tools to teach children more effectively has always been one of my main interests. With the AIM Pathways program, AIM is giving more teachers access to the tools they need to tailor learning to each student. In my experience, you can’t tutor every individual student, but by arming the teachers with information and tools to teach reading more effectively, you can reach more individual students and also help teachers stay in the profession longer and not to burn out. Q. What three words would you use to describe AIM? A. Innovative. Passionate. Focused. * deceased
