Wanted: Groundbreaking Learning Transformation

HMH® is proud to partner with Sapulpa Public Schools (SPS) as they implement a comprehensive integrated solution to support their digital learning transformation. The strategic partnership includes, but is not limited to, digital curriculum with a Learning Management System (LMS), a data management and analysis system, professional development services, and technological support.

Sapulpa is well positioned to be the “polesitter” digital district in Oklahoma and a relevant national example of digital best practices.

Enabling Learning in a Changing Landscape

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt™ is proud to deliver our trusted, premium digital content to Sapulpa Public Schools (SPS) via Common Cartridge® through the Learning Management System Buzz™.

Over the next three years Sapulpa Public Schools will implement HMH’s Common Cartridge content in Grades 3–12 across the curriculum, enabling its learning transformation from print to digital. In addition to being accessible through Buzz, Common Cartridge contains a variety of digital assets to enhance and individualize students’ learning, including:

  • High-quality Virtual Labs that offer the educational power of inquiry-based learning and provide students with the opportunity to manipulate and analyze data in a digital environment.
  • Animations and simulations that bring concepts and process to life and speak directly to students in a visual language they understand, ensuring they stay engaged.
  • Video-based projects that provide students the opportunities to develop the skills to think critically and collect, graph, and analyze data.
  • Digital lessons and assessments that address the complete cycle of instruction, practice, and assessment.
  • The ability for parents to communicate with teachers and guide their child’s academic experience.

Digital Content + Learning Management = Personalized Learning

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Agilix® are proud to partner with the Sapulpa Public Schools to implement Buzz, the next-generation K–12 personalized learning platform. Buzz enables students to learn their own way, teachers to reach students where they are, and provides parents the insight to support their kids. With Buzz:

Students will:

  • Know what they need to do next
  • Know how they are doing in each subject and how they are doing for each standard
  • Collaborate with other students and with teachers
  • Organize their academic life

Teachers will:

  • Enhance their instruction through a library of vetted HMH® digital content objects aligned to the Oklahoma Academic Standards (OAS) and Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS)
  • Align their instruction to the standards, align their assessment to the standards, and report progress by the standards
  • Understand their own performance and their students’ growth and have continuous improvement models in place
  • Minimize the time they spend grading or presenting material and increase the time spent teaching, coaching, and tutoring
  • Maximize the impact of their teaching efforts by focusing on a student or groups of students that need their help the most

Parents will:

  • Know how their students are doing
  • See individual assignment and quiz grades
  • Be able to review assessments question by question
  • Understand the standards their students are expected to meet

Supplemental Digital Content
Also, HMH offers Channel One News® to further bolster Sapulpa Public Schools’ digital learning initiative. With Channel One News, HMH is helping teachers promote current events and media literacy in the classroom, which helps students in Grades 3–12 interpret the news of the day and spark important, real-world conversations. Channel One News will:

  1. Teach Media Literacy. Every young person is a digital citizen and can benefit from learning how to sort fact from fiction and to share information fairly and responsibly on the Internet.
  2. Inspire Global Citizenship. We live in an interdependent world, and global citizenship gives young people access to cultures and communities beyond their own while teaching them about their responsibility to one another.
  3. Promote Civic Engagement and Communication. We use the news as a way for educators, parents, and students to spark conversations around important issues and to encourage young people to get involved in the communities and causes they care about.

Data to Help Drive Achievement

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt™ and Sapulpa Public Schools (SPS) will take data-driven decision making to new levels by pairing the unique edFusion™ enterprise data platform with our unparalleled education knowledge and expertise.

edFusion is HMH's comprehensive data management and analysis system platform that connects people, processes, applications, and resources securely to transform data into actionable insights and enable an adaptive learning environment. By using edFusion as the data management and analysis framework, SPS staff will be able to track progress and evaluate programs and, most importantly, be empowered with the right information at the right time in the right manner to foster achievement for all students.

To support student achievement and meet the vision of Sapulpa Public Schools, HMH® will be implementing four key modules of the edFusion system: edFusion Insight—reporting and analytics; edFusion Foundation—data management; edFusion Integrate—data integration; and edFusion Identify—enterprise portal (SSO) and identity management. Each module matches an identified SPS need:

  • Insight: Enterprise education intelligence suite of tools to support reporting, analysis on demand, scorecards, and dashboards—How HMH will help SPS “socialize” or share data in an easy-to-understand format with all stakeholders.
  • Foundation: Set of data management repositories, master data management & utilities—How HMH will help Sapulpa Public Schools collect, store, move, and govern data.
  • Integrate: Integrates data, applications, users, and resources through a portal gateway—How HMH will connect all applications and education resources within SPS’s environment in order to share/communicate data.
  • Identify: Security, authentication, authorization, roles, and identity matching—Assigns roles/permissions and keeps all users, organizations, roles, and applications SECURE for Sapulpa Public Schools. It also helps identity resolution in cases of student mobility.

Program Implementation Offerings
To complement SPS’s implementation of HMH’s digital content, the district will receive specialized training and professional development. These services go beyond product training; teachers will transform teaching and learning through the integration of 21st-century content and enabling technologies.


Technical Implementation
So teachers and administrators can stay focused on teaching and learning, HMH employs a proven methodology to ensure a successful technology implementation that consists of six distinct phases. This methodology addresses all the relevant elements of the Systems Development Life Cycle, adapted to the implementation of application software. Each phase consists of a predefined series of tasks and deliverables assigned to specific project team members.

The details for the Technical Implementation Multi-Step Process are:
Phase 1: Discovery: Identification of project needs and resources required to complete the overall solution.
Phase 2: Planning: Kick-off meeting between HMH and SPS representatives to discuss objectives and plans necessary for a successful implementation.
Phase 3: Configuration: Create and configure the district and repository subdomains in the LMS and other systems.
Phase 4: Testing & Training: HMH will perform quality assurance tests of the integrations described above.
Phase 5: Rollout: A focus on activities to “go live.”
Phase 6: Transition to Support: Implementation team will coordinate the support team’s participation in the transition services.
