Since Penda reports are generated and delivered to teacher's email every Monday, in an ideal situation, a teacher evaluates
student performance and assigns remediation activities as deemed necessary from the Penda data to differentiate instruction.
Therefore, Penda may reach an even broader range of our students more deeply if it becomes part of a structured plan where
students use Penda as a tool within a unit of instruction, assigned to meet their individual needs. Students can revisit
activities with multiple attempts to achieve their highest score. Students take charge of their learning and teachers enter the
role of facilitator.

Our school was blown away with Penda and all of the great activities, resources, and friendly competition it offers. The lesson
and activities are aligned to our counties standards and follow our timeline, this will really help reinforce the standards being
taught. Our teacher’s favorite part of the program was the inclusion of the levels of DOK. Students will have to demonstrate
knowledge for the standards on all levels, what a great accountability piece! Everything a teacher would want in a program, is
available through Penda.

I love the fact that all the lessons are aligned with the standards. I love the fact that it is so easy to search for a specific
standard and find all the lessons available. I also love the fact that the assignments are so easy to assign to the students. The
fact that I can assign it to a group of students so I can differentiate instruction.

Science Teacher, Aventura City of Excellence School (FL)
With Penda being designed for the Florida science standards, it gave us something we’re confident that students are getting the
content –– the science assessments are content-based. But the biggest thing is it’s engaging. We don’t have to convince the kids
to do it. They enjoy doing it.
