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.
