Pilot Digital

Product Availability
Updated 1/20/16

DEAR PILOT TEACHER,

Thank you for piloting Pearsons brand new English Language Arts program, myPerspectives.
This product is still in development with components on a rolling release starting in January.
The program will be complete in time for back-to-school 2016. This document provides dates
and details for each component to help you plan lessons and identify resources accordingly.

PILOT ACCOUNT & COURSE AVAILABILITY

To begin using the myPerspectives digital course, refer to the Digital Registration Letter for
step-by-step directions on how to create your account on www.pearsonrealize.com. This
letter should be given to you during training or by your Pearson Account General Manager.
During the rollout time period, updates regarding content releases will be published on
www.eladashboard.com/myperspectives. To ensure you have the most current information,
please check this site often during your pilot. In addition to updates, this site is where you
will find resources for units that are not yet available. For example, Unit 1 is now available in
Realize, but Units 2-5 are not. If you are piloting Units 2-5, the lesson resources will be
posted on www.eladashboard.com/myperspectives as they become available.
IMPORTANT: The courses currently available are National Grades 6-8 and California Grades
9-12. The National Grades 9-12 courses will be available in late Spring 2016. If you are in a
state other than California and are piloting Grades 9-12, please select the California course.
The only difference between what will be in the final National Grades 9-12 courses and the
existing California courses is the standards coding, all content is exactly the same.

DIGITAL STUDENT & TEACHERS EDITIONS

myPerspectives will utilize Pearsons brand new Interactive eText that will be fully functional
for back-to-school. For implementation purposes, Student and Teachers Editions will be
available via digital flip book within the Realize course. These flip books will serve as the
digital Student and Teachers Edition during your pilot. Beginning in March, Interactive eText
units with limited functionality will be available.
