2024 BRISTOL-PLYMOUTH REGIONAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL ANNUAL REPORT
Academic Achievement Continued
High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM)
In alignment with its commitment to academic excellence, Bristol-Plymouth has successfully
implemented High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) in Algebra I, Geometry, and Grade 9 and 10
English Language Arts. These materials have enhanced instructional coherence and promoted deeper
learning, with instructional coaches and educators closely monitoring their impact to ensure
successful adoption. This year, the school is preparing to expand its HQIM implementation to include
Algebra II and Grade 11 English Language Arts, relecting its ongoing dedication to providing rigorous,
standards-aligned resources.
Additionally, Bristol-Plymouth continues to explore HQIM options for Biology, aligning with its goal of
equipping science educators with exceptional resources that support inquiry-based learning. Content
teams in Language Arts, Science, and Mathematics are leveraging the Massachusetts Department of
Elementary and Secondary Education’s (DESE) “Implement” process to evaluate potential materials.
This rigorous approach involves analyzing curriculum endorsed by EdReports, DESE’s “CuRaTe”
(Curriculum Ratings by Teachers), and other reputable organizations. These eforts ensure that
adopted resources meet state frameworks, incorporate best practices, and efectively support
student success.
Through its strategic use of HQIM, Bristol-Plymouth demonstrates its commitment to delivering
high-quality, equitable instruction that prepares students for academic and professional achievement.
