Develop a Pathway to Reach School Improvement Goals
Today’s education landscape has changed drastically, and schools that have embarked on school improvement plans will face even greater challenges. HMH can partner with low-performing schools and districts to develop a pathway to school improvement with truly connected, evidence-based solutions that prioritize equity and support students, educators, and leaders to effectively boost student achievement.
Analyze and Strengthen Learning Outcomes
HMH can help you maximize learning for all students by examining student outcomes through various lenses including grade level, school, and other demographics. Our ultimate goal is to create a personalized solution uniquely designed to ensure that all students are achieving their potential and that all aspects of your MTSS model are being monitored through the lens of student learning.
- Coherence Mapping: Schools and districts work alongside their HMH team to map out resources using MTSS/RtI templates, ensuring appropriate resources are matched to student need.
- Planning for Success: HMH then provides unique visualizations of the collected data to help unpack and uncover areas of strength and opportunities for improvement in your MTSS model.
5Essentials Framework and Survey
The 5Essentials® from UChicago Impact® is a diagnostic survey, framework, and reporting site that provides meaningful insight into a school’s organizational conditions, culture, and climate. Professional learning linked to the survey results helps schools prioritize areas for improvement and measure progress toward improved organizational conditions necessary for achieving sustainable school improvement.
Teacher and Leader Support
With nationally recognized professional development for teachers and leaders, HMH partners with schools to create meaningful professional learning experiences that foster long-term, sustainable growth.
- Guided Implementation Support: On-demand program training and PD resources included with HMH subscriptions ensure teacher confidence in their program and provide opportunities for continuous professional growth.
- Ongoing Professional Learning: Personalized instructional coaching and professional development courses connect teachers with high-impact instructional strategies and promote a unified teaching culture throughout the school or district.
- Leadership and Advisory: Consultants from the Center for Model Schools provide school and district leaders help in achieving district strategic goals.
Evidence-Based Instruction
For students who have fallen behind, HMH offers flexible, evidence-based instruction that accelerates growth while also addressing the needs of the whole student through social-emotional learning.
