Professional Development
Master your professional learning.
The best educators are those who constantly strive to improve themselves and their practices. To ensure teacher and student success, McGraw-Hill offers online courses and in-person training for our programs, giving our teachers a deep knowledge of effective implementation strategies and instructional practices.
We build our solutions on five principles of effective teacher professional learning:
- Content-specific learning
- Active engagement
- Teaching models
- Collaborative learning
- Practical application
Professional Learning Environment
Inspired, right from the start.
The Professional Learning Environment (PLE) for grades K-12 gives teachers instant access to a range of resources for mastering the programs they use every day.

The easy-to-use tools support professional learning and help teachers meet continuous improvement objectives.
The PLE is currently available via McGraw-Hill's ConnectED for the following programs:
- McGraw-Hill Reading Wonders
