High-Quality Instructional Materials
The MDE HQIM Roadmap and the MS Instructional Materials Matter Website highlight how instructional materials make a difference in the lives of students. Every student should have access to high quality instructional materials (HQIM). HQIM are aligned to the Mississippi College-and Career Readiness Standards, externally validated, comprehensive, and include engaging texts (books, multimedia, etc.), and assessments. HQIM allows students to read meaningful complex texts and express their ideas effectively through writing and speaking, all to build knowledge of the world.
