Integration Brings Pearson Assessments to McGraw Hill's K-12 Curriculum

Education companies McGraw Hill and Pearson have partnered to integrate the latter's assessment capabilities into McGraw Hill's K-12 curriculum solutions. Pearson's PRoPL (Pearson Review of Progress & Learning) will be accessible within McGraw Hill's core curriculum offerings, providing data-driven insights on student progress and the ability to create learning paths tailored to student needs, the companies explained in a news announcement.

Aligned with each state's unique standards, Pearson's assessments are designed to be completed in 30 minutes. Integrating them into the McGraw Hill online environment will help reduce administrative burden, the companies said, saving valuable classroom time and enabling teachers to focus on student learning. In addition, the assessments provide "timely, predictive insights that make personalization practical, scalable, and impactful," according to the companies. The integration will roll out beginning in California for the 2025-26 school year, combining PRoPL with McGraw Hill's California Reveal Math solution, and will expand to additional subjects, grade levels, and states in the coming years. 

"This collaboration combines McGraw Hill's high-quality, modern curriculum with Pearson's innovative digital assessments to unlock more value for students, teachers and administrators," said Sean Ryan, President of McGraw Hill's School Group, in a statement. "By creating an elegant linkage between assessment and instruction that delivers reliable insights to inform classroom practices and district decision-making, we're giving educators the opportunity to focus on what matters most — student growth." 
  
"The future of education is data-driven, and this collaboration is paving the way. By combining Pearson's assessments with McGraw Hill's core curriculum, we're creating an integrated system where academic data flows naturally into teaching decisions, helping every student receive the right support at the right time," commented Trent Workman, Managing Director, Pearson K-12 School Assessments, U.S.
