Perusall GRADES FOR YOU! What more could a classroom teacher want? ... Don't Answer That...

Is anyone paying attention?





Are you doing more work than your students?
Students should be the ones doing the work, not the teachers, right? What you need, what all teachers need, is a program that grades for you.

What more could a teacher want?



Problems that Teachers Face:



  • Students are not engaging deeply with texts and content.
  • Teachers are working harder than students.
  • Students are not reading and comprehending texts.
  • We are living in a TEST focused world.
  • Teachers need students actively engaged and ready for EOCs and benchmark testing.
  • There are massive amounts of grading with HUGE class loads and TONS of extra paperwork and meetings.




What is Perusall? It is a program that allows students to collaborate and annotate PDF texts. It then GRADES FOR YOU! ... Wait... What?!? 


How Perusall Can Help...
  • Works in ANY content area.
  • Points based for accountability.

  • Teaches appropriate annotation for TDA and EOC type assessments.
  • Large texts can be broken up into smaller sections.
