Pear Deck

100% student engagement. It’s the holy grail for teachers. Imagine every single kid in class raising their hand, participating in discussions, taking a risk and offering an answer in front of their peers. Sound impossible? If you want to see what 100% student engagement looks like, just search #PearDeck on Twitter, or walk into any classroom that’s using Pear Deck. Educators are passionate about engaging students with Pear Deck and that passion is directly linked to how Pear Deck got started — in the classroom. In 2014, co-founders Michal and Riley Eynon-Lynch, Dan Sweeney, and Anthony Showalter came together to envision a world where educators could break through the barriers to student participation and transform student devices from distractions to tools that help teachers create a meaningful connection with every student, every day. Pear Deck does just that, supporting millions of K-12 educators, students, and families across around the world and facilitating millions of moments of meaningful engagement every day. Pear Deck is an early-stage, funded startup. If you like the idea of working on a close-knit crew as we face the challenges of scaling both our customers and our team, this is the perfect time to jump in! We're looking for people who share these core values and are excited to apply their talents to the challenge of growing a company and creating something meaningful together. Teachers launch presentations on student screens with a single click, watch student answers come in, and engage the entire class in group discussions. Pear Deck blurs the line between instruction and assessment to promote active learning and data-driven instruction. Not only will Pear Deck improve student engagement (and consequentially, educational outcomes), but it will also ignite teachers’ fire for teaching.
