Roadmap Overview

  • A brief statement about “Why are we here?”  
  • “Travel essentials”, such as supporting resources needed for each section of the Roadmap and suggested professional learning to support educator engagement 
  • Key “souvenirs” (or takeaways) to carry forward

Roadmap to Implementing HQMI

The Roadmap to Implementing High Quality Mathematics Instruction seeks to:

  • Ground instruction in the Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for Mathematics, thus reaffirming a commitment to equitable learning opportunities for all students in Kentucky;
  • Support intentional integration of evidence-based instructional practices; and
  • Expand educator familiarity with strategies to interweave the development of social emotional competencies with the development of mathematics content.
