Manage Programs for Classes

Before you begin. . .
Your classes must be created before you can manage programs. Depending on how your district manages roster data, classes are created by district/school administrators or by teachers. To view your class rosters and (if allowed) add classes, see Manage Class Rosters.

 

HMH Ed™ requires that teachers specify the programs available for each class before resources can be assigned to a class. resources can be assigned to a class. Linking HMH programs to classes also ensures that the students only see the programs that you teach within that class.

Linking HMH programs to classes can be done using prompts at log in (as detailed the Set Up Classes at Log In topic) or using the Program Settings page (as detailed in this topic).

The Program Settings page appears listing all the available programs purchased by your district. Individual programs are displayed in boxes grouped by subject. Each program has a corresponding check box to indicate whether it is selected for this class.

 

The first time that you open this page for a newly created class, the check boxes for all programs are clear (turned off).

 

To determine the list of programs that the students in your class see, you need to specify the exact programs to be associated with this class

 

In the following example, no programs are selected.

The settings are as follows:

On = Check box - On

Off = Check box - Off

In the following example, several programs are selected (turned on) for Class 1.

When you return to the Discover page and open the Program List, you see the programs that you selected in the list.

 

In the Also Available to you section of the Program List, you see additional programs listed that may be above and below the grade-level of the selected program(s). These additional programs are available for you (the teacher) to browse and search, and you can even assign this additional content to the students in your class. However, these additional programs are not included in the Program List that the students in your classes see.

 

Discover page - Program list

 

When students log in to Ed, they see only the programs that you associated with their class in their Program List.

 

Note:  To assign any program resources to a class, they must have first been made available to the class on this page or in the set up prompts when you log in. Once a program is selected, its resources, and any resources from programs associated to it and appearing in the Also Available to you section of your program list, can be assigned to the class.
