WHY MCGRAW HILL FOR TEXAS

Intervention that works as a system, not an add-on

When intervention time is scarce, matching the right support to the right tier — and monitoring whether it's working — is how you protect both grade-level access and the minutes you have.

  • 01 · THE SYSTEM

    Organized across every tier

    Math and literacy support mapped to Tiers 1, 2, and 3, so students get the right intensity and move up and out as the data says they're ready.

  • 02 · THE SIGNAL

    Data you can act on

    See what students actually know, not just what they completed. Real-time insight connects STAAR and interim data to specific skills and next steps.

  • 03 · THE PARTNERSHIP

    More than a program

    From launch through long-term success, Texas teams get professional learning, coaching, and implementation support built for the work.

SUPPORT BY TIER

One continuum, from prevention to intensive intervention

A multi-tiered system of supports moves students in and out of intensity as their data changes. Here's how McGraw Hill math and literacy solutions map across the continuum.

  • TIER 1 · ALL STUDENTS

    Strong core, strengthened

    Rigorous core instruction, supported by supplemental tools that reach every learner and prevent gaps before they widen.

  • TIER 2 · SOME STUDENTS

    Targeted intervention

    Small-group support in addition to core, planned from assessment data and focused on the skills students need next.

  • TIER 3 · A FEW STUDENTS

    Intensive support

    Individualized instruction for students with serious gaps who need explicit, systematic support to reach grade level.

INTERVENTION & SUPPLEMENTAL SOLUTIONS

Math and literacy support, aligned to Texas needs

Supplemental tools address the TEKS students need right now. Intervention tools get underneath those standards to the foundational skills students missed — especially for Tiers 2 and 3

MASTERY, NOT JUST PRACTICE

Know what students actually know, and what to do next

Some programs count how many problems a student finishes. The question that matters is whether a student has truly mastered a concept before moving on. That difference is what turns data into action for teachers, and what separates real growth from time on task.

  • MASTERY

    Built on what students know

    • Adaptive learning verifies understanding before a student advances, so progress reflects mastery, not completion volume
    • Each student follows a personalized path that fills gaps and accelerates toward grade-level TEKS
    • Ongoing knowledge checks confirm retention over time

  • DATA

    Insight teachers can act on

    • Real-time dashboards show what students know, not only what they did
    • A skills and standards view connects daily learning to the specific skills students need next
    • Clear reporting for teachers, leaders, and families supports MTSS decisions

THE RESULT

A mastery-based data story: teachers see exactly where each student stands against the standards and where to focus, so intervention time is spent on what moves students forward.

90%+

of the time, K–12 students reach mastery with ALEKS

TEXAS RESULTS

TEXAS RESOURCES & ANSWERS

Common questions from Texas districts

Our math and literacy programs map across Tiers 1, 2, and 3, with universal screening, targeted intervention, and ongoing progress monitoring. Districts use them to match the right support to each student's need and to move students up and out of intensive support as the data shows they're ready.

ALEKS is aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and adapts to where each student is, mapping a path to grade-level readiness and state assessment preparation.

We partner with Texas districts through onboarding, professional learning, and ongoing support, with training and implementation guidance tailored to each role.

Not always, and this is a common point of confusion. The Texas Education Agency has issued IMRA reviews for specific categories, currently ELA (K–5), math (K–5), and supplemental math (K–12). Other categories, including supplemental literacy and intervention, have not been called for IMRA review. That means many high-quality intervention and supplemental solutions are fully available for districts to adopt and fund even though they are not on an IMRA list, because no list exists yet for that category.

Many Texas districts fund supplemental and intervention resources through state and federal opportunities. Your local McGraw Hill representative can help you review your requirements and outline options that fit your budget.
