The Coherence Conundrum: Getting the Most Impact Out of High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM)

Recent NAEP results deliver a sobering message: math performance has not rebounded, andre in many states, it continues to slide. The takeaway is clear: adopting High-Quality Instructional Materials is necessary, but far from sufficient.Real, sustained gains only emerge when systems are coherent: when curriculum, instructional practice, professional learning, technology, and a deep understanding of student thinking move in sync. Fragmentation blunts impact. Coherence unlocks it.In this timely conversation, district leaders, practice-based instructional leaders, and builders of next-generation math and technology platforms examine what it truly takes to translate HQIM into measurable outcomes. From classroom-level insight to system-wide infrastructure, they’ll explore how districts can align the right materials with the right supports to accelerate learning especially for the students who need it most.This session moves beyond adoption to execution, offering a clear-eyed look at how coherence can become the catalyst for stronger math outcomes and a more equitable future.
