One-Stop Online Back-to-School Shopping for Teachers

Pearson, the world's leading educational publisher, announced the launch of PearsonAtSchool, a new online store offering a wide range of PreK-12 products from the world's leading education publishers, including widely-known imprints like Prentice Hall, Pearson Learning Group, Penguin Putnam, Dorling Kindersley, and Scott Foresman.

For the first time, teachers can find all Pearson products in one place on the Web, with easy-to-use navigation and purchase process. The site allows teachers to supplement current curriculum materials and access the latest professional development products on a single Web site. Users will find books, CD-ROMs, software, educational toys, games and videos to enrich the learning experience. Up to 20,000 new products will be offered through the site by year's end.

PearsonAtSchool features teacher-friendly themes and product recommendations. For example, teachers can browse categories like New Teachers Survival Skills, Discipline and Classroom Management, and Prepare Your Students for Standardized Testing. Classroom activities and supplies, reproducibles, and manipulatives round out the PearsonAtSchool offerings for teachers.

PearsonAtSchool's picks of the world's best educational resources cover the range of disciplines and include Art & Music, Early Childhood, Foreign Languages, Guidance & Counseling, Language Arts, Math, Phys.Ed & Sports, Reading, Science & Health, Social Studies, Special Education and Technology. Users can search by subject, sub-subject, product type or publisher. Other Pearson imprints represented on this site include Longman, Allyn & Bacon, Electronic Education, and Skylight Professional Development.

PearsonAtSchool significantly enhances our mission to support teachers with the very best educational products, says Sally Wood, Chief Operating Officer of Pearson's Family Education Network. It's great to be able to bring all these trusted products and innovative resources to one place on the Web, especially in time for back-to-school.
