STEP 1
The first step requires that one of the teachers complete this simple form with the information of your center, the names and emails of each English teacher of the new course and the classes assigned to each teacher.
Don’t worry if you still don’t know all the teachers, or if there will be a change of teacher in some groups later. Send us all the groups and teachers that you already know and then we can incorporate new teachers or make modifications. A class can have more than one teacher assigned, which is useful for making substitutions… If new teachers join later or there are group changes, write to us at
support@miltoneducation.com
Once we receive the initial list of teachers and groups, Milton will create the teacher licenses and classes for your school.
- If your center acquires student licenses, also add the number of students that must be created in each class.
- If in your center parents buy the material in a bookstore or on the website, you do not need to include the number of students, since as the parents hire, the students will be automatically added to their corresponding classes Send us the classes and teachers Central English.
- Alba Marín alba.marin@gmail.com: 1º A Prim (23 alumnos), 1º B Prim (25 alumnos), 2º C Prim (27 alumnos)
- Juan Perez juanp@hotmail.es: 1º C Prim (27 alumnos), 2º A Prim (24 alumnos), 1º A Prim (23 alumnos)
- Andrea Gómez andreagom@colegio.es: 4º C Prim (27 alumnos), 5º A Prim (24 alumnos), 6º B Prim (22 alumnos)
- etc.
STEP 2 – You can now access the Teacher Panel
When Milton creates your teacher license, you will receive an email to create your password.
Once you have created your password, you will have access to the Teacher Panel, which you must access by entering panel.miltoneducation.comIf you have not received the email to choose a password or you have forgotten it, you just have to follow these simple steps:
- Log in to panel.miltoneducation.com and click below on the link “Forgot teacher/parent password?”
- Enter the teacher email you previously sent us and click “Send” to receive an email where you can choose or reset your password. If you get the message “Unknown or invalid email” when you click “Send”, write to soporte@miltoneducation.com from your teacher email and tell us which school and which groups or classes you teach and we will create your account.

STEP 3 – Set up your classes and students
You can view and edit your groups and students in your Teacher Panel.
- Click on the “Students” menu in the top navigation bar and choose one of your groups from the drop-down menu at the top right, for example: “4º A Primary”.
- You can edit the class numbers, the first and last names of each student and view their usernames and passwords. To edit, click on the “Edit students” button, make the changes you want and then click on “Save”.
- You can move any student from your classes to any other class (even if you are not the teacher of that group). To do this, select the student and click the “Change Student Class” button.
- You can customise the Bookroom and Trainer levels for each student by selecting one or more students and clicking on “Edit” above the Bookroom column.
- By default, your students will have a preconfigured level in Bookroom according to their grade (e.g. Level 04 for 2nd Primary students), but you can modify this initial level by raising or lowering it.
- The “maximum” Bookroom level you set for a student will be the level they will see on the platform when they log in.
- You can also set a minimum level below which the student will not be able to read.
- Remember that you can also set the maximum and minimum Trainer level for each student.
- Finally, we recommend that you leave Auto-advance active, which allows the students, when they have completed a level, to advance to the next one automatically.
You can learn more about this at the end of this video.

STEP 4 – Distribute the users and passwords to your students
Now is the time for you to give each student their username and password.
Students must access from travelers.miltoneducation.com with their username. They can use any device such as a computer, tablet or mobile phone, and we recommend always using Chrome or Safari browsers.
There are three different ways to create and get started with student licenses:
- For schools that purchase material directly from Milton, the Milton Support team creates the necessary student licenses and sends them to the school. For more, watch this video.
- For schools recommending that parents and guardians purchase materials on Milton’s website, they need to visit the site, enter their child’s school, and class details, and complete the purchase using a credit card. For more, watch this video.
- Finally, those parents who buy our textbooks in bookstores or in e-commerce stores (Amazon, etc.), once they have purchased the physical book, can access license.miltoneducation.com and create the digital license for their son with the license code that is printed inside the book, on the back cover. These types of digital licenses only activate access to the digital textbook, and not the rest of the reading modules (Bookroom and Trainer), which can only be purchased through the special website that Milton creates for each center.
Watch this video.
If students have purchased or activated their licenses during the summer, parents and guardians will have already received their child’s username and password, but it is a good idea to check that all your students remember it. You have all the updated usernames and passwords in the “Students” section and you can even print them out or download them by clicking on the “PDF” icon at the top right. Sometimes, at the beginning of the course, Milton will also send individualised letters with the username and password of each student so that you can distribute them.
