What is AIM4S³™

Achievement Inspired Mathematics for Scaffolding Student Success provides a framework of instructional components that shelters mathematics content to make it comprehensible and accessible to all students, with a focus on English learners (ELs) and students who struggle with math. AIM4S³™ is a powerful framework that supports teachers in planning and implementing state standards while providing high-quality, evidence-informed instruction. It can be utilized with any mathematics program and targets teachers in kindergarten through middle school.
