BOSTON, July 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As K–12
district leaders nationwide grapple with hard decisions around
remote, hybrid or in-person learning environments in the weeks
ahead, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt today announced HMH
Anywhere™, a digital platform and content solution that will
adapt to wherever districts and schools are or will need to be this
fall—fully online, fully in-person, or a hybrid model.
According to an Education Week survey of a sampling
of U.S. districts, over 50% have already announced they will be
going back to school in online-only or hybrid environments, and
those that are going back to in-person models will need to be
prepared for the unknown. And 10 of the 15 largest school districts
have chosen remote learning only as their back-to-school
instructional model, affecting over 2.5 million students.
To support districts faced with these challenges, HMH
Anywhere provides simple subscription access to one connected
teaching and learning experience on HMH's Ed platform for
assigning and assessing work, measuring student growth, proficiency
and mastery. For teachers currently burdened with multiple
platforms and the challenge of teaching students in both live and
asynchronous formats, HMH Anywhere brings everything
together under one roof, including:
- Integration with major video conferencing solutions for both
synchronous and asynchronous instruction
- High quality instructional content across the four major K–12
disciplines, including HMH's Into Learning suite of
programs, which are top-rated by independent third-party reviewer
EdReports
- Online professional development for teachers through
Teacher's Corner, which provides an easy-to-use,
ever-growing library of on-demand professional learning
resources—many focused on optimizing instruction in remote and
hybrid environments
- Engaging, AI-driven personalized practice for each student
through the award-winning Waggle
- Adaptive benchmark assessment with the HMH Growth
Measure, to measure student growth throughout the year and
place students into relevant practice at their proficiency
level
"School districts across the U.S. are facing extraordinary
uncertainty, and they must prepare for the unknown this fall—HMH
Anywhere was created to address that challenge by providing one
connected platform for content and classroom management, regardless
of where teachers and students will be this fall," said
Jack Lynch, CEO of HMH. "The entire
teaching and learning community needs to be connected—not as an
aspiration but as a necessity. HMH Anywhere provides that
connection."
For families, caregivers and students, HMH Anywhere will
provide an easy-to-use entry point for all assignments, content,
assessment and practice—something that presented major pain points
this spring when families were thrown into a remote environment
without warning. Importantly, the platform will provide simple
access to parents and caregivers so they can support their
student's learning.
Interested K–12 district leaders can schedule a preview of
HMH Anywhere here.
