AAI Centers
The Achievement & Assessment Institute is composed of several centers, each representing a range of services and programs that help support and promote AAI's mission. Our centers are organized into two categories; Strategic Centers, which are expected to have strategic plans ensuring their long-term viability, and Tactical Centers, which are contingent upon faculty research agendas and funding. In addition to these two categories, AAI has a number of affiliated faculty at the University of Kansas and other institutions. Across all centers and affiliations, collaboration is crucial to our success.
Strategic Centers
