Set Up Classes at Log In

When you log in to HMH Ed™ at the start of the year, you are prompted to move through a series of dialog boxes in which you specify the grade and subjects of your classes. The system then auto-populates your classes with the relevant programs and determines the relevant resources and training available to you through Teacher's Corner and Teacher Success Pathway. In this on-boarding process, you have the opportunity to change and/or add programs to your classes.

Step 1 of 3: Set Up A Class

Depending on how your district manages roster data, classes are created by district/school administrators or by teachers.

If you have been assigned classes, this page provides a list showing each of your classes as individual cards.

All users are provided with a Demo Class card, even if you have no other classes assigned to you.

Note: Setting up a demo class allows you to access Ed program content, training, and support materials before you are rostered to classes. It also provides you with an area to try out Ed functionality in a practice environment rather than using an active class. Because it is just a Demo Class, you cannot add students to it.
