πβ¨ Empowering Math Educators Through High-Quality Instructional Materials! β¨π
From June 8β10, 2026, UTEPβs College of Education hosted educators from across the region who participated in the HQIM Math Institute for Kβ8 Teachers, a three-day professional learning experience focused on strengthening mathematics instruction through High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM).
With expert facilitation from Faculty Site Coordinators Cynthia Acosta, Anaeva Rodriguez, Ellen Baumler, and Erica Nash, along with Clint ISD teachers Laura Tullius-Medina, Elias Mendoza, and Jorge Puente, participants engaged in learning focused on lesson internalization, student work analysis, aggressive monitoring, data-driven instruction, assessment practices, learning acceleration, student engagement strategies, and the effective use of AI to support teaching and learning.
Through collaboration, reflection, and hands-on application, educators gained practical tools and actionable strategies to strengthen instruction, enhance student learning outcomes, and ensure all students have access to rigorous, grade-level mathematics.
Many thanks to the El Paso Community Foundation/Gates Foundation for their support of this endeavor. Thank you to all the educators who dedicated their time, expertise, and passion to making this institute a success. We look forward to seeing the impact of this learning in classrooms throughout the coming school year!
