Summary:
|
The Perris Union High School District would like to contract with Nearpod to provide Unlimited Premium Plus Platform access for all teachers and students across the District. Nearpod will also provide two (2) 2-hour online professional learning sessions for up to fifty (50) participants at Perris Union High School District.
Nearpod is an interactive platform that assists teachers in making any lesson interactive in the classroom or virtually. The platform allows teachers to create interactive presentations containing quizzes, polls, videos, collaborative boards, and more. Educators can access thousands of pre-built standards-aligned lessons or upload their existing lessons and make them interactive. Students can access a teacher’s presentation through a code, and the teacher can move the class through the presentation and let students interact with the media as they go. Teachers can also opt for student-paced mode, where students can control the flow of the lesson. The app is web-based and works on any device with an internet connection.
The customizable nature of the platform means that it can be applied to any grade range and teaching context. It provides real-time formative assessments and session reports and helps build a connected culture in and outside the classroom. Teachers will know where every student is in their learning and will be able to adapt instruction in real-time with in-the-moment feedback. By utilizing formative assessments, teachers can gain insights into student learning and build authentic connections for students through checkpoints and activities focusing on social and emotional well-being and addressing learning loss by using reports to inform the next day’s instruction.
The term of this Agreement shall be from August 2, 2023, through August 1, 2024.
This item is being brought forward before the Board as ratification due to the untimely receipt of the Agreement from Nearpod.

Funding:

The cost for this item is included in the 2023-24 operating budget funded through Local Control Accountability Plan Supplemental and Concentration Funds, not the General Fund.
