Upcoming Events

Visit an HQIM Learning Lab.

It’s not too late to visit an HQIM Learning Lab! According to one visitor, “The entire visit was extremely strong. The class visits, student feedback, teacher panel, and listening to the principals and ED.”

Another had this to say: “The opportunity to observe a variety of classrooms and be able to have follow-up discussions with the teachers was of the most benefit. The teachers and administrators were able to share valuable insight and answered so many questions for me.”

Remember, any district OR Approved Provider can visit an HQIM Learning Lab (or you can visit together!). Visit our new and improved HQIM Innovator District website and request a Learning Lab visit today! 

Your District Leader CoP is Friday, 2/9, at 10:00am.
