Example

Mr. Stephen’s district is using Penda district- wide. He creates his account and stays enrolled for PAS. Weekly, his students are assigned Penda activities that parallel what he is teaching, according to the district’s scope and sequence. Mr. Stephen’s students complete the Penda activities as follow-up and additional practice to his classroom instruction. Students complete the activities weekly and Mr. Stephen’s receives a class mastery report to monitor student’s progress. Mr. Stephen’s uses this report to analyze students and assign additional activities to 3 different groups (RtI level 1, RtI level 2, enrich) he’s set up in Penda.
