AIM is a comprehensive instrument designed to evaluate diversity, multiculturalism, and equity and justice in independent schools. It is also designed to assist in strategic planning initiatives to build and sustain inclusive learning communities. AIM builds on the now retired Multicultural Assessment Plan (MAP), with an expansive meaning and use of the cultural identifiers and elements of school culture.
