A.I.M.’S support TEAM
A.I.M.’s programs depend on an awesome support network of people within our university and regional school district and community partnerships. A.I.M.’s mentors, teaching artists, administration, researchers, support staff, program specialists, and program coordinators come from a variety of educational and artistic backgrounds. Here are some of the people currently serving as A.I.M.’s support team in order to implement our internships and programs, and to promote the belief that “At the Heart of Education is the Teacher”.
