For Educators
At-Home Learning
Whether your school is closed or a student is out for an extended period, learning should continue. Pearson helps you stay connected to students and parents to ensure continuity of learning.
Pearson's MyLabsPlus can be used to augment classroom instruction and maintain a course of study in the event of school closures due to H1N1 or other crisis situations. The MyLabsPlus online teaching and learning environment will offer nominal cost courses ($15 per student for each course for 30 days) for middle and high school Algebra, Advanced Algebra, Geometry, Algebra Readiness, Reading, and Writing, including easy-to-use homework, personalized study plans, guided solutions, multimedia learning aids, quizzes and tests.
The MyLabsPlus Technical Support Helpdesk will provide 24/7 phone, e-mail, and chat support for students and instructors working in their courses.
If you already have access to MyLabsPlus and have questions, call 888.883.1299 or e-mail helpdesk@mylabsplus.com.
To purchase MyLabsPlus, or to find out if your school already has access, e-mail info@mylabsplus.com.

The Take Home Learning Kits, available for Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8, are designed to provide supplemental learning materials in the event that students must spend time away from school. Schools may choose to purchase the standalone mathematics and language arts Knowledge Power workbook for $7—or add one or more science and social studies readers from the Pearson library.

Questions? 
For schools already using a Pearson program, our Pearson SuccessNet Web site helps teachers reach out to students, even when they are unable to attend classes. It provides access to online textbooks and other learning resources, as well as digital assets to aid in learning. For some courses, it provides the ability to assign activities and assessments and monitor the results.
If you are using a Pearson program and are ready to get started with Pearson SuccessNet, go to www.pearsonsuccessnet.com and register. Make sure to take a look at the Getting Started Guide if you have any questions.
To find out if your school already has access to SuccessNet or to inquire about the service, please call 1-800-848-9500.
If you already have access, but would like additional support, please visit Pearson Technical Support & Continuity of Learning.
Questions?
Schools whose middle and high school students are using the online NovaNET self-paced program as a core curriculum or for credit recovery will have the option of purchasing additional access at a reduced rate and on a monthly basis. Each additional provides access for up to ten students. Each port costs $175 per port, including support. In addition, DVDs for home use will be available at $5 per student. The reduced-price per port is available to customers to add temporary additional capacity at a fraction of the annual subscription price. The monthly subscriptions can be renewed on a month-to-month basis to provide the greatest flexibility.
To find out if your school or district has access to NovaNET or for more information, please call 1-888-827-0772.
