NEW!

IM Academy
Our new IM Academy offers individual educators and independent consultants the opportunity to engage in our immersive professional learning sessions so they can implement IM’s problem-based curriculum with confidence. IM Academy sessions are available for single-seat registration and open to all, including new teachers in districts that have already engaged in our Teach & Learn training, which lays the foundation for implementation.
