GoGuardian, the leading digital learning company combining the best in learning science and technology to drive positive learning outcomes for all students, has announced that teachers can now offer one-on-one tutoring with a single click from within GoGuardian Teacher and Pear Assessment. The new feature allows educators to swiftly and efficiently assign real-time one-on-one live coaching through Pear Deck Tutor based on their observations of student’s performance within the familiar teaching and assessment systems they already use.
Pear Deck Tutor is an online tutoring platform that partners with schools and districts to empower students and support teachers with high-quality, on-demand tutoring across all subjects and all grade levels. Coupled with GoGuardian Teacher, Pear Assessment, or both, Pear Deck Tutor delivers high-quality student support to help address unfinished learning and supplement acceleration strategies.
The latest Pear Deck Tutor launch comes as educators look for better ways to combine classroom student performance observations and assessment scores to provide personalized one-on-one tutoring for students who need it the most. Pear Deck Tutor’s new seamless, one-click experience with GoGuardian Teacher and Pear Assessment saves educators valuable teaching time, enables personalized interventions, and provides tutors with relevant mastery context, allowing students to receive the additional support they require swiftly.
Speaking about the development, Sharad Gupta, Chief Product Officer of GoGuardian, said:
With educators pulled in many different directions daily, we must equip them with the tools they need to deliver real-time, tailored instructional support. The seamless, one-click experience we’re bringing to GoGuardian Teacher and Pear Assessment empowers educators to quickly and easily bridge the gap between classroom learning or assessment and timely personalized intervention with Pear Deck Tutor to improve student learning outcomes. We’re enhancing the learning journey for students and relieving the burden on teachers as the sole providers of personalized instruction, helping to ensure every student receives the tailored support they need to thrive.
GoGuardian Teacher is a classroom management solution that helps educators curate online learning environments informed by real-time insights where students can safely and responsibly learn at their own pace. With the new ‘Assign Tutoring’ button in GoGuardian Teacher, educators can instantly connect Pear Deck Tutor sessions with learning content, leading to more aligned tutoring sessions that enhance student outcomes. Teachers can then continue with the rest of the class as planned. At the same time, specific learners receive the personalized guidance or extra challenge they need to work through an assignment or learning material.
Pear Assessment allows educators to create and administer practical curriculum-aligned assessments, access instant, data-driven insights, and track standards mastery in a single, easy-to-use platform. The new ‘Assign Tutoring’ button in Pear Assessment’s Live Class Board and Whole Learner pages allows educators to seamlessly collaborate with highly qualified tutors, who can offer students additional standards-aligned support or an extra challenge to improve their following assessment scores. The insights provided by assessments can now be turned into action by providing targeted support immediately after an evaluation identifies proficiency levels.
For school and district administrators, the new integrations optimize the use of Pear Deck Tutor by making on-demand tutoring a simple, quick, and repeatable procedure for all teachers, resulting in positive learning results at scale. Providing personalized, 1:1 coaching and meaningful feedback to students can also assist districts in addressing pandemic-related incomplete learning and bridging crucial equity gaps.
GoGuardian aims to enable all learners to feel prepared and inspired to address the world’s most challenging issues by combining the best in learning science and technology across the K12 learning journey. Its educational tools include GoGuardian Admin, Beacon, and Teacher to support student safety and productivity.
