HIGH-QUALITY CURRICULA & SYSTEMS
ENABLER 2: HIGH-QUALITY CURRICULA & SYSTEMS FOR INTERVENTION AND ACCELERATION
Ensure the adoption of High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) that are content-rich and culturally responsive,
as well as assessment tools aligned to the Maryland College and Career Ready Standards.
Establish and adopt a statewide Early Warning System (EWS) across the prekindergarten through 12th grade
spectrum to identify students who are at risk of:
Not being ready for kindergarten
Not being ready to read by the end of third grade
Not being proficient in math by the end of fifth grade
Not being ready for high school (e.g. attendance, behavior, and course grades in middle school)
Not being on track to graduate from high school in four years
Not being college and career ready by the end of tenth grade
