High-Impact Instructional Practices Across HQIM:
What Strong ELA & Math Lessons Have in Common

K-8 Math & ELA teachers, coaches, administrators

High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) vary by publisher, but strong instruction relies on consistent, evidence-based practices. This session highlights the instructional moves common to well-designed ELA and Math HQIM and how to implement them with clarity and purpose.

High-Quality PLCs for High-Quality Instructional Materials:
Collaborative Preparation that Drives Results

K-8 Math & ELA teachers, coaches, administrators

Effective PLCs prepare for instruction together, not just reflect afterward. This session shows how to design and lead HQIM-centered PLCs using proven intellectual preparation protocols that strengthen instructional readiness and impact.

Building Context with Text Sets to Support HQIM

K-8 teachers, coaches

High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) often include complex texts that require essential background knowledge. This session helps teachers identify key contextual needs in their HQIM selections and use adjacent texts and supplemental resources to build that knowledge efficiently.
