We are pleased to notify parents that you have the right and may request information regarding the professional qualifications of your child’s classroom teacher. Specifically, you may request the following:

• Whether the teacher has met State qualification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction.
• Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which State qualification or licensing criteria have been waived.
• The baccalaureate degree major of the teacher and any other graduate certification or degree held by the teacher, and the field of discipline of the certification or degree.
• Whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.

HMH Curriculum for K-8 ELA

1. HMH is not involved in supporting state education departments with implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion policies in school curriculums and professional development programs.
2. HMH is committed to complying with federal and state legislation and does not include controversial or discriminatory topics/texts in our curriculum.
3. Since Florida was mentioned, HMH core curriculum is widely used throughout Florida and Texas. In fact, because those states have so widely adopted HMH core programs, HMH offers state-specific versions for both states that align directly with their State Standards.  In Florida for example, more than half of the schools use HMH programs.
4. HMH acknowledges that DEI initiatives in education have been linked to increasing polarization and therefore do not include controversial topics in our curriculum programs so that our programs can be confidently used throughout the country and across the globe.
5. HMH's professional development services do not include DEI topics
