Successful implementation depends on understanding the why, what, and how of the work. Use these resources to communicate key messages, engage relevant groups, and build the shared understanding and commitment needed to support HQIM implementation.
One of the most common curriculum implementation challenges actually has nothing to do with the materials themselves—it’s missing communications. When it comes to implementing high-quality instructional materials (HQIM), building buy-in, addressing misconceptions, and clarifying role-specific responsibilities are as important as putting the materials in classrooms.
This Communications Audit is designed to help you understand and take stock of how you’re currently talking about instructional materials, what you already have in your communications toolkit, and what you still need to develop to make communications easy and effective.
Use this resource to identify the key communications needed to support strong curriculum implementation. Clear and timely communication helps everyone—from school system leaders to teachers—understand what’s happening, what’s expected of them, and how to be successful.
You’ll see:
