Why a Focus On HQ Curriculum Implementation?

The use of HQ materials impacts student learning

“Using better instructional materials boosts student outcomes just as much as having a better teacher at the front of the room.” (The Elements, 2020)

Curriculum-based learning for teachers impacts student learning

“When teachers participated in curriculum-based professional learning, their students’ test scores improved by 9 percent of a standard deviation — about the same effect caused by replacing an average teacher with a top performer or reducing class size by 15 percent.” (The Elements, 2020)
