The PIM Process

Step 1) Predict

Teachers start by thinking about common misunderstandings students might have. They use insights from past experiences, discussions with colleagues, curriculum diagnostics, or AI tools.

Step 2) Identify

Teachers select, create, or adapt specific interventions to address each misunderstanding they predicted.

Step 3) Match

During this phase, the teacher’s goal is to match each student to a predetermined intervention. This approach optimizes teaching time and ensures every student gets the exact help they need.
