Learning Science
Learning science focuses on examining how learning occurs. How do your students learn? This question is at the core of learning science—and at the core of our approach toward optimizing learning in your classroom. Learning science draws from research across many disciplines, and we leverage this research to assist you with how you use content and data to target knowledge gaps, personalize instruction, promote retention, and transform learning in your classroom. Our goal is to help you connect research-based practices and content to the important work you do every day.
Our Approach
The application of learning science is most effective when it recognizes that educators bring knowledge, expertise, and a personal touch to the classroom that technology can’t replicate. Our goal is to optimize your teaching talent with learning-science-fueled, research-based resources which transform your educational experience with tools that target knowledge gaps, track student progress, and create personalized learning plans for your students based on individual needs.
Understanding Learning Science
Learning Science 101: Misconceptions
Why do we believe what we believe, and understand what we understand? And at what point does an understanding become a misconception?
Research
We leverage learning science research and principles to design effective instructional materials in a variety of disciplines. We've learned a lot from this research, and we want to make that knowledge accessible to all educators. Here, we invite you to explore some of our most helpful research as well as foundational research from the field.
Educational Equity
Educational equity means that all students should have access to the right resources they need at the right moment in their education, regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, language, religion, family background, or family income (The Aspen Institute).

Partnerships
Partnering and collaborating with authors and educators in various fields of study ensures that we are providing the most current research, innovative technology, and personalized paths for students. Some of our 14,000+ partners include:
Join The Great Kindness Challenge
We are proud to celebrate seven years of sponsoring The Great Kindness Challenge (GKC) event, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary. This week-long event has positively impacted over 121 countries, 15 million students in 30,000+ schools.
Educators' Community
We value the ideas, insights, and opinions of educators. That's why we're inviting all current PreK–12 educators in the United States to join our McGraw Hill Educators' Community to get involved, get connected, and become a thought leader.
