Integrations with Google Classroom and Clever,
new Spanish-language resources, personalized professional
development and more provide streamlined experience, support
positive outcomes
BOSTON, Aug. 30,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Aug. 30,
2022 – As students and teachers nationwide head back to
school, learning technology company HMH today
announced major enhancements to Ed, HMH's connected teaching
and learning platform, that will offer an even more streamlined
experience to empower educators and engage students. Seamless
integrations with Google Classroom and Clever, as well as
refinements and new features to many of HMH's core, supplemental
and intervention solutions and professional learning services,
provide powerful connected teaching and learning experiences that
drive positive outcomes—all from one platform.
"At HMH, we know that an innovative, connected approach is what
educators need to make the most of their time and resources and
meet all students where they are," said Greg Collins, SVP of Platform at HMH. "This
back-to-school, a streamlined Ed experience will equip students,
teachers and administrators with powerful integrations like Google
Classroom and Clever, enhanced embedded assessment, joint solutions
like Amira + Saxon Phonics & Spelling and evolve the
overall HMH platform experience."
Critical Integrations
With the direct integration of Google Classroom and
Ed, teachers are now able to share HMH assignments with
their students via Google Classroom and benefit from Ed's
auto-scoring and standards-reporting capabilities. This integration
gives teachers and students the best of world class,
standards-aligned content and cutting-edge learning technology to
support dynamic teaching and learning experiences. This
back-to-school HMH also has partnered with rostering platform
Clever, which enables districts to utilize Clever's automated,
secure rostering and single-sign-on for HMH solutions at no
cost.
Enhanced Assessment and Increased Access
Further exemplifying the connected approach are enhancements
to HMH Growth Measure, HMH's embedded, evidence-based
assessment system. Teachers and leaders will now have access to
even greater precision to inform placement and district
planning. HMH Go, the HMH Learning app, provides
enhanced interactivity and online/offline syncing to provide more
equitable access to HMH materials when an internet connection is
unavailable.
New & Expanded Solution Features
Students will find new, engaging features and content across
HMH's digital solutions, including:
- "Explore Zone Simulations," now available through hallmark
intervention solutions Math 180, will enable students to
discover how math is used in actual career settings and explore the
impact of mathematical decisions. Students can even track their own
achievements, through the new Learn Zone Progress and Performance
Tracker.
- A slate of brand-new mini lessons for grades 6-12 within
Writable, HMH's guided writing practice
solution known for strong scaffolding support, which will offer
guided practice of a specific skill.
- A complete suite of Spanish lessons within
Waggle, HMH's supplemental practice solution for Math
and ELA that combines personalized practice with gamification.
These lessons provide trans-adapted learning, a teacher-redesigned
dashboard, enhanced reporting, and updated auto-assign features to
support teachers.
- Expanded supports and more rich content for English language
learners within Math 180 and English 3D.
Best-in-Class Connected Curriculum
HMH's connected approach brings together best-in-class solutions
in ways that are uniquely integrated to empower teaching and
learning. For example, HMH's new paired digital and print solution,
AI-based tutor Amira Learning and Saxon Phonics &
Spelling®, will combine Amira's ESSA-strong 1:1 reading
tutoring with Saxon's research-based explicit phonics instruction
to provide systematic foundational reading support for K-2
learners. Amira will also now provide teacher and district
skills reporting and continues to build upon its skills lessons
that support readers in both English and Spanish.
Personalized Professional Services
Also, new this fall, HMH has launched Teacher Success Pathways
on Ed—more personalized professional learning with learning
topics configured based on teacher programs and grade-level. HMH's
new pathways within the platform give teachers a clear road to
success within the first 30 days with supporting resources that
include interactive media, model lessons from practicing teachers,
editable lesson plans, and how to platform tutorials. HMH is also
the only edtech provider to offer both live and recorded sessions
straight from the platform. Access to teaching tools is also
further refined throughout Ed, with even greater teacher control of
assignment workflow, making it easier for teachers to manage the
volume of student assignments.
