Pear Assessment
New for administrators
Admins have enhanced control over accommodations and improved data access. Districts can define the level at which teachers can adjust accommodations, ensuring a consistent approach that meets individual student needs.
Additionally, the Insights-Only role grants access to assessment data for specific personnel like school psychologists and counselors, facilitating data-driven decision-making and personalized student support.
New for teachers
Teachers can select the best scoring attempt for each student, effortlessly convert Google Forms into Pear Assessment quizzes, and efficiently merge unit quizzes into comprehensive assessments. These features save valuable time and simplify workflows, allowing teachers to focus on what matters most: personalized learning and student success.

Pear Practice
Simple Session Join
We've simplified the Pear Practice Session Join Code screen for teachers and students. Designed to make it simpler for students to join a session, the new Session Join flow ensures the join code is always visible to students and allows them to edit their avatar while waiting in the lobby for a session to start.
Get ready to start your own practice session.
Search Suggestions
Finding relevant content quickly is one of the most effective ways to help teachers save time when preparing for a lesson or assignment. Now in Pear Practice, when teachers search for Practice Sets from the Teacher Home or the Public Library, they’ll see a list of suggested popular searches, allowing them to quickly select the most relevant option.
Instant Sets
Create a Practice Set in seconds from any of your existing materials. Just snap a photo, upload a PDF, or link a website, and voila! Instant Sets just revolutionized how quickly you can transform any of your existing content into a Pear Practice Practice Set.
