Common Core

Less Interruption, More Instruction.

Sensitive to the fact that you have limited resources, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is committed to helping you craft a customized implementation plan that supports the unique needs of your staff and students as you make the transition to new Common Core Standards. Because new standards mean new strategies, assessments, and curriculum, our full circle Common Core Transition Model targets three key areas for successfully implementing the Common Core Standards:

Professional Services

Through curriculum audits, classroom-embedded training, demonstrations, and courses, our Insight into Action experts partner with districts and schools to build educator capacity in standards-based instruction.

Instructional Materials

Our instructional resources are designed to address your adoption needs as well as complement your existing program—making the most of what you have with what we can offer. This includes cost-effective teacher and student materials to bring your teaching and learning programs into compliance with Common Core Standards.

Assessment and Data Management

Accurate assessment, data collection, and analysis lead to better results. Our new assessments, item banks, and data and curriculum management platforms put current and accurate data at your fingertips. We can help you pinpoint exactly what strategies are working so that best practices can be shared across the district.
