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, teachers will need to sign in directly at my.mheducation.com. Refer to the Access Your Teacher Account article to learn more.
If a teacher does not have a teacher account, they will want to reach out to your Organization Administrator. The Organization Administrator can either create a teacher account for them, or provide the Self-Registration Code. If a teacher is provided with the Self-Registration Code, they will want to follow the steps on the Create a Teacher Account article.
Create and Roster Students
If District and School Administrators decide to have teachers create and roster their own classes, teachers have two options to complete these tasks: use the Import Students/Rosters feature or manually redeem their content and create and roster their students.
Import Students/Rosters
This feature allows teachers to redeem content to their teacher and student accounts, create classes, and create and roster students all from one location. For more information on using this feature, refer to the resources located on the Import Students/Rosters – Resources article.
Manually Redeem Content and Roster Students
Teachers can use the following articles to guide them through manually redeeming content to their teacher account, assign student content, create classes, and roster students:
- 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.
- Refer to SSO and Manual Rostering Teacher Resources or Direct Login and Manual Rostering Teacher Resources depending on the district’s Access Service.
