Introduction

You go to the Pear Assessment log-in page and. nothing. A spinning wheel. A cryptic error. Or, worse still, you are looking at a different portal altogether.

What is Pear Assessment?
Pear Assessment is an assessment platform developed using technology in a K-12 classroom. It was formerly called Edulastic, but was renamed when it became a member of the Pear Deck Learning family (comprising Pear Deck (interactive lessons), Pear Practice (standards-based practice)).
It is a one-stop-shop today where planning, teaching, practice and assessment are done. Simple enough to do daily exit ticket, but robust enough to do district-wide benchmark testing, which replicates state tests.
Essential characteristics in short:
- Live Class Board: Instant Data demonstrates real-time student responses in an active assessment.
- AI-Powered Tools – Create questions, rubrics, and complete lesson packages within one minute.
- Secure Testing- dynamic passwords, browser lockdown and high stakes test kiosk mode.
- Deep Integrations — Google Classroom, Clever, Microsoft, and OneRoster update rosters.

Within the Teacher Dashboard.
The dashboard is your control panel when you are in. This is a brief introduction.
The Test Library
In the left hand menu, under Tests, you can find thousands of pre-built, standards-aligned tests – or you can make your own. New in 2025: Question generation powered by AI (Premium) and the possibility to import questions in Google Forms, DOCX, PDF, JPG, or PNG files.
Assignments & Live Class Board.
Assigning a test also allows real-time student tracking through the Live Class Board when you assign a test, see who has begun the assignment, who is hung and who has submitted. There is also the flagging of the student who leaves the test window in kiosk mode.
Reports & Data Studio
In Reports, drill into standards-mastery data, question-level response frequency, and over-time individual performance. Districts that use Data Studio are able to map attendance, risk levels in MTSS and external academic data with the assessment outcomes.
Easy Assign and Pro Mode.
Easy Assign (new in 2025) simplifies the settings to the most popular ones to deploy more quickly. The advanced users have the option to switch to Pro Mode to have complete customization: adaptive testing thresholds, dynamic passwords, and differentiated distribution.
