Energised student learning

Check your progress

Research tells us that students perform best when they understand how their progressing, and what their trying to achieve.

With Pearson Science we provide learning intentions and success criteria for every lesson - that ensure students understand their goal for the lesson, and what they're required to learn.

Along the way, the Digital Hub helps students understand their progress toward their goal with:

  • Rate my learning allowing students to flag how they felt about the lesson, and where they need help.
  • Auto-assessing questions throughout lessons allow both students and teachers to check progress and understanding.
  • Glossary terms within lessons to increase understanding
  • Teachers can display lesson questions in an anonymous class view for student engagement to see class results.
