What do teachers think of new HMH curriculum? Watch latest Instruction in Action video ahead of Board presentation

Posted Date: 09/02/26 (04:15 PM)


The Poughkeepsie City School District is excited to implement the fully aligned HMH curriculum this fall.
But, what do the teachers think of the change?
Educators throughout grades K-5 had their first opportunity to learn about the platform at a training last week, and many walked away inspired by the tools it has to help them educate students and catch those who may be falling behind.
After the training, five teachers provided their thoughts to Director of Teaching and Learning Patrice Woods and Director of Curriculum and Instruction Nadine Elting-Dargan for this latest episode of Instruction in Action.
HMH is aligned through all instructional areas for grades K-8. It features personalized academic intervention tools, while offering broad access for students and parents to directly interact with progress to take more ownership over performance.
You can learn more about HMH during a special presentation at tonight’s 6:30 p.m. Board of Education meeting (watch on our YouTube page or through PoughkeepsieSchools.org, where you can also find a previous video featuring Deputy Superintendent of Schools Da’Ron Wilson discussing HMH).
Teachers will have more opportunities to learn about the HMH platform during Thursday’s Superintendent’s Conference Day professional development and throughout the school year.
