ConnectED has been invited to participate in a unique partnership opportunity supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. We recognize that districts that adopt and implement High Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) require aligned, integrated, and complementary professional learning services. ConnectED has significant experience supporting coherence and capacity building at the district level and we have leveraged this expertise to support the adoption and implementation of High-Quality Instructional Materials for Mathematics.
Moving forward, we have been invited to work alongside publishers of these materials to develop aligned professional learning resources and experiences. We are working with two Illustrative Mathematics materials publishers to develop prospective partnerships. Partnership possibilities include, for example: Developing co-branded services and tools, bundling our services alongside the publisher, and/or engaging in joint business development. We look forward to aligning curriculum-based professional learning with high-quality instructional materials to accelerate mathematics achievement for all students.

Notes from the Field – Challenger Middle School
At ConnectED we recognize that there is a well-documented and persistent relationship between success in 9thgrade mathematics, Algebra I or equivalent, and success accessing and persisting in post-secondary learning. Meaning also that those students who struggle in Algebra I are less likely to graduate high school, less likely to enter post-secondary learning, and less likely […]
