Why HQIM?

Our second year using HQIM or High Quality Instructional materials strengthens the curriculum and improves tracking of student learning and progress. Our teachers are comfortable and confident, using Eureka for math K-5 grades, Carnegie for math 6-12 grades and Amplify for reading K-8 grades. We are expanding our use of HQIM which fluidly connects all grade levels from K-12. Even if teachers change from year to year, our HQIM approach to learning does not.
