HQIM (Core Program) Implementation
Our training empowers teachers to make informed decisions that align with student needs to make the most of your High Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM).
Why Our Approach Works
Implementing a curriculum is no easy task. Publishing companies can provide the textbooks, lesson plans, and activities you need in the classroom — we deliver the coordinated approach to make the most of your investment.
The HILL provides the “why” and “how” so teachers can align these materials with individual student needs. We collaborate with each school and district, striking a balance between consistency and flexibility.
Our solutions are:
- Evidence-based — Informed by the latest research and teaching methods to foster effective and equitable classroom practices
- Data-informed — Tailored to meet the exact needs of the students in your school/district
- Comprehensive — Aligned across grade levels
- Sustainable — Structures designed to grow with your school over time
The HILL is PLPG Certified

Every time the teachers leave the session they are leaving with practical applications for their classroom. It takes the science of reading right into the science of learning.

This course clearly identified the how, what, and why it is important to create WG/SG templates when implementing a new core ELA program. This course would benefit any educator using a core program in their school.
