麥格勞-希爾(英語:McGraw Hill)是一家美國教育出版公司,同時也是「三大」教育出版商之一,為pre-K教育至研究生教育提供定製化的教育內容、軟件和服務[2][3]。該公司還為醫療、商業和工程專業提供參考資料和貿易出版物。麥格勞-希爾教育在28個國家開展業務,在全球擁有5000多名員工,並以60多種語言向135個國家提供產品和服務。
麥格勞-希爾教育曾是麥格勞-希爾公司(後來更名為麥格勞-希爾金融,現為標普全球)的一個部門。2013年3月,阿波羅全球管理以24億美元現金將其收購[4][5][6][7][8]。
基於對課堂技術日益增長的需求,麥格勞-希爾開始在提供傳統印刷產品的同時提供數字產品。隨着人們越來越關注開發自適應學習系統,使課堂教學更接近一對一的師生互動,這種轉變得以加速。這些系統允許個性化學習,評估每個學生的技能水平,並使用數據來確定每個人如何通過課程最有效地進步。麥格勞-希爾目前為1100多萬用戶提供數字產品和服務,涉及1500多種自適應產品,涵蓋高等教育和主要K-12課程的數字格式。
歷史
麥格勞-希爾成立於1888年,當時公司的聯合創始人詹姆斯·H·麥格勞收購了《美國鐵路設備雜誌》。他繼續增加更多出版物,最終在1899年成立麥格勞出版公司。另一位聯合創始人約翰·A·希爾也出版了幾本技術和貿易出版物,並於1902年成立希爾出版公司。
1909年,兩人將各自的出版公司的圖書部門合併為麥格勞-希爾圖書公司,約翰·希爾擔任總裁,詹姆斯·麥格勞擔任副總裁。1917年,兩家公司合併為麥格勞-希爾出版公司。[9]

1979年,麥格勞-希爾出版公司從維吉尼亞·威廉姆森手中收購《字節》雜誌,維吉尼亞·威廉姆森隨後成為麥格勞-希爾公司的副總裁。1986年,麥格勞-希爾收購競爭對手經濟公司,後者是當時美國最大的教材出版商。此次收購使麥格勞-希爾成為美國最大的教育出版商[11]
1988年,麥格勞-希爾關閉貿易圖書部門。
麥格勞-希爾出版公司於1995年更名為麥格勞-希爾公司。[12]

Controversies
In 1980, McGraw-Hill paid the African American writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin a $200,000 advance for his unfinished book Remember This House, a memoir of his personal recollections of civil rights leaders Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.[48]。Following his death, the company sued his estate to recover the advance they had paid him for the unfinished book. The lawsuit was dropped by the company in 1990, citing a desire not to cause distress to Baldwin's family.
In October 2015, McGraw-Hill Education was accused of whitewashing history after it published a caption in a geography textbook referring to American slaves as "workers".[49] The company quickly apologized, updated the digital version of the materials, and offered schools replacement texts at no charge.[50] It has been linked to broader controversies about texts at the Texas Education Agency.[51]
