MAP® Growth™ Instructional Connections are all about helping you make effective instructional decisions about what comes after MAP Growth is administered. They allow you to own your curriculum, instruction, and assessment process while giving you reliable, accurate student assessment data and making it easier for you to connect every kid with personalized learning experiences.
Here’s how it works:
The program includes more than 30 instructional content providers, so there’s a good chance you can connect to providers you’re already using.
Balance technology use while meeting the diverse needs of kids
Every year, HMH queries over 1,200 educators from across the country about the issues that impact them daily and publishes the Educator Confidence Report. Among the top issues for 2026 is a need for better integration, not more tools. Our Instructional Connections program can help by quickly creating learning paths for each student without requiring additional placement assessments.
The report also shows that technology is making it easier to deliver individualized instruction to students. In fact, 98% of educators feel confident using technology in the classroom, and more than 75% of those surveyed agree that educational technology helps them personalize instruction, complete administrative tasks, and use assessment data to inform instruction. And nearly 70% of educators agree technology can help their students grow academically.
