Pear Deck, Pear Start and Pear Assessment are powerful tools for teachers to create engaging and data-driven learning experiences. As part of the Pear Deck Learning suite, they work together to support the entire instructional process, from interactive lessons to comprehensive assessments.

Pear Deck: Your Interactive Lesson Sidekick

Pear Deck turns your Google Slides or PowerPoint presentations into interactive experiences. Instead of just talking at your students, you can pose questions directly on the slides and see their answers in real time. It's perfect for checking for understanding on the fly, sparking class discussions, and keeping everyone engaged.

How it helps you: You get instant, private feedback from every student, allowing you to quickly spot who's struggling and who's ready to move on. This immediate insight is a game-changer for formative assessment.

Pear Assessment: Your Data-Driven Grading Partner

Pear Assessment (formerly Edulastic) is your go-to for creating and delivering assessments that provide powerful data. Whether you need a quick quiz or a full-blown exam, it offers a huge variety of technology-enhanced question types. The real magic is in the reporting—it automatically grades many of the questions and gives you deep insights into how your students are performing against specific learning standards.

How it helps you: It saves you valuable time on grading and gives you the data you need to target your instruction. You'll know exactly which standards your class has mastered and which ones need more attention.
