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. 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).

 

Follow the instructions below to select the programs that you want the students in each class to have available in their Program List and that you can access on the Discover page and in the Teacher's Corner.

To select and manage programs for all of your classes:

 

1.    In the HMH Ed™ banner, click the Home tab. The Home page appears, listing all your classes as separate class cards in the My Classes area. The classes that have been set up with programs appear at the top of the list, and below that, classes that need to be set up are listed in a Ready To Set Up section.

Note: To set up a class that has been assigned to you but has no programs associated with it, see Set Up Classes on Home Page. Once the classes are set up, you can add or edit the programs as detailed in the following steps.

 

2.    To manage programs for a class that is set up, click the View Class button in the class card.

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

4.    Select the check box Check box - On of all programs that the class should have access and, if necessary, clear the check box Check box - Off of all programs that the class should not have access.

The settings are as follows:

On = Check box - On

Off = Check box - Off

When you make changes on the page, the Save and Update and Undo buttons in the lower right corner of the page are enabled.

 

5.    Click Save and Update to save the changes. A dialog box appears confirming that you have successfully saved the changes to your programs.

 

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.
