Penda's 3-dimensional activities and assessments have been handcrafted to standards from grades 3- high school.

How Penda Science Streamlines Instruction, Intervention & Progress Monitoring

Rely on Your “PAS” for Automated Scope & Sequence Alignment

Each week, Penda’s unique Pacing Assistance Service — we call it PAS — auto assigns activities to students that are custom-aligned with your school or district’s instructional progression calendars. PAS works behind the scenes with no extra effort needed by admins or teachers.

A Digital Teaching Assistant for Educators

Penda supports students without adding more work for the teacher. Students are provided feedback, support and opportunities to build their skills as they work through activities. Penda even grades the assignments automatically. The icing on the cake: Penda will feed the results into your Canvas or Schoology grade book using Learning Tool Interoperability (LTI) 1.3 Advantage protocols. Students can be assigned by class or group or based on reading levels.

Streamline Progress Monitoring & Intervention

Penda does more than auto-grade students’ assignments — it provides data-rich reports that teachers can use to guide instruction, interventions and enrichment. With the time they’re not spending on grading, teachers can dive into our class mastery and student mastery reports to plan for differentiated instruction and provide individualized learning support where it’s needed. Monitoring intervention groups is a snap too, thanks to custom reports for the groups teachers have created for their classes.

What Educators Are Saying

“

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.

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.
