PEARSON ENGLISH PORTAL
What is the Pearson English Portal?
The Pearson English Portal (the portal) contains
the cloud-based resources you need to teach
StartUp. Go online to get into the portal and
download whatever you need.
How do you access the portal?
Go to english-dashboard.pearson.com.
Choose “Create an account” and follow the
simple instructions. If you already have an
account, you can just sign in. Use the same sign-
in credentials for any Pearson products to which
you have access.
You will be asked to type in your access code,
found on the inside front cover of this Teacher’s
Edition. If you don’t have an access code, please
contact your Pearson sales rep.
Once you have typed in your access code,
you’ll be prompted to Go to Products to “add a
product.” Choose StartUp.
Finally, you’ll be asked to choose your school or
institution from a pull-down menu. If it’s not on
the list, please ask your Pearson sales rep.
You’re now done! Look at your personal
dashboard to see all your Pearson products.
