Getting Started for Teachers in Auto-Rostering Districts
Get started in ConnectED as a teacher in auto-rostering districts.
This article applies to districts that use the SSO and Auto-Rostering Access and Direct Login and Auto-Rostering Services.
SSO applies to districts that use an SSO portal, district website, or Learning Management System (LMS) to access McGraw Hill digital programs, and Direct Login means that teachers, students, and administrators log in at my.mheducation.com. Auto-Rostering means that account creation, class setup, and roster management are automated through a process handled by your district.

What Auto-Rostering Does for You
Our auto-rostering service runs nightly for districts, and the roster data that is provided by the district creates and updates student and teacher accounts. It can also create and update classes, class rosters, and assign one or more programs to each class. All of this means that you should be able to sign in through your district’s Single Sign-On (SSO) launch point or log in directly at my.mheducation.com directly and begin using your program content with ease. All platform set-up tasks and class roster changes are handled for you by the district.
Future-dated classes for back to school will become available to teachers and students three weeks before the start date of the class. For semester changes, classes will be available for teachers and students three days before the selected class start date.
Log into Your Account
For Single Sign-On districts, most teachers and students log into a district Student Information System (SIS) or Learning Management System (LMS) and use their district’s launch point to access McGraw Hill platforms. Teachers and students will automatically be signed into their McGraw Hill Programs.
For Direct Login districts, the district will provide teachers and students with their login information to sign in as my.mheducation.com. Refer to the Access Your Teacher Account article to learn more.
Teacher Accounts for "Non-Teachers"
Sometimes staff, such as principals and curriculum coaches, need access to teacher content and may not have access set up through the district’s SSO portal. To gain access to online content, these users will need to self-register for an account with a Registration Code provided to you by your Organization Administrator. Refer to the Create a Teacher Account article to learn more.
Those that have self-registered will also need to manually redeem content and create and roster classes. Refer to the platform specific articles listed below to learn more:
- ConnectED - How to Redeem a Master Code
- ConnectED - How to Assign Content to Students
- ConnectED - Class Management
- Open Learning Platform - Class Management
Next Steps
- Watch the Back-to-School Teacher Orientation Video for Auto-Rostering Districts.
- Refer to SSO and Auto-Rostering Teacher Resources or Direct Login and Auto-Rostering Teacher Resources depending on the district’s Access Service.
