Science wiz or struggling student? Penda Science gives every learner the tools they need to achieve their learning goals. Penda helps teachers differentiate instruction with scaffolded activities for every NGSS performance expectation and Florida SASS and Texas TEKs. As students work through activities, they receive immediate feedback on which questions they got right and which they answered incorrectly so they can focus their learning and build their knowledge. Standards-based assessments and comprehensive reports deliver data to help teachers identify student learning needs, guide Tier 1 class-wide instruction, monitor progress, and track the effectiveness of Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions.

How Penda Science Supports MTSS and RTI

Meet Students Where They Are

Penda supports the learning process through cutting-edge neurobiology concepts. Our science activities are scaffolded screen-by-screen using Webb’s Depth of Knowledge (DOK) in order to meet students where they are and provide the knowledge and skills to improve individual performance.

To ensure activities are accessible to all learners, Penda integrates with Immersive Reader, a Microsoft Learning tool, for text-to-speech, translation into 60 languages, and even text decoding solutions for students with word-reading difficulties like dyslexia.

Get Insights into Student Achievement and Growth

Standards-aligned interactive assessments for diagnostic, formative and summative use help teachers know where to go next with Tier 1 instruction and provide intervention to small groups and individual students who need additional support.

Penda’s reporting suite was designed with RTI and MTSS frameworks in mind, providing educators with key data to effectively monitor progress and target interventions to accelerate learning.

Easily Create & Modify Intervention Groups

We’ve taken the headache out of creating intervention groups, allowing teachers to easily differentiate instruction by assigning specific Penda activities to the learning groups they’ve identified. As students make progress toward standards mastery, teachers can move them in and out of intervention groups with just the click of a button.

Engage and Motivate Struggling Students

While Penda’s gamified format makes science mastery fun and engaging for students, the built-in feedback cycle supports independent learning by providing students with opportunities to review and practice concepts they’re struggling with. Class and school-wide competition as well as points and rewards motivate students to keep learning — before, during and after school hours.
