In a guest post for Rivet Education, the Southern Education Foundation’s Outcomes Based Contracting (OBC) team shares insights from their recent study on enhancing Curriculum-Based Professional Learning (CBPL). By aligning CBPL contracts with clear, shared outcomes, districts and providers can boost the impact of HQIM and support educators more effectively.
This blog post outlines some of the study’s key findings.

HQIM make implementing research-based best practices for instruction easy. With teacher created or unaligned materials, it’s just plain harder to design lessons that consistently integrate these achievement-correlated practices. We need to do more to help teachers feel equipped to use their HQIM through !

District leaders often find themselves trying to build an HQIM strategic plan from the ground up—a process that’s both time-consuming and overwhelming. What leaders need is a 'GPS' to guide their way, showing them the right steps at the right time, so they can stay focused on driving implementation forward.
Check out this thoughtful reflection from our co-founder, Annie Morrison, on why having a clear roadmap is crucial for successful HQIM implementation.

Troubling trends in this year's EdReports.org State of the Market report. HQIM are now readily available, but only 35% of ELA teachers and 51% of math teachers use HQIM consistently.

Why? One reason could be a lack of preparation to use HQIM effectively.

"Data from recent years reveal that teacher preparation programs have traditionally dedicated insufficient time to skillful use of provided curricula. For example, only 38% of programs emphasize how to skillfully use and modify curricula, while 71% continue to support developing personal lesson and unit plans (Table 9). This imbalance highlights a critical area for improvement in how we prepare educators to develop their practice."

Can fill the gaps left by teacher preparation programs?
