LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As educators nationwide begin the new school year, Pear Deck Learning’s platform stands out as the only comprehensive AI solution purpose-built for K-12 education that delivers on what truly matters: improved student outcomes, not just time savings.

Backed by GoGuardian’s trusted innovation, Pear Deck Learning brings over a decade of AI expertise dedicated exclusively to education, transforming how millions of students learn. Unlike generic AI tools hastily adapted for classrooms, the platform embeds trusted, pedagogically-aligned AI throughout the entire teaching journey—from lesson planning through assessment—creating a seamless experience that amplifies teacher impact.

"We've spent years building AI that actually works in real classrooms," said Tyler Shaddix, Chief Innovation Officer at GoGuardian. "Pear Deck Learning doesn't just save time, though teachers often save five or more hours each week. It enables differentiated instruction, increases student engagement, and drives measurable learning gains. That's the difference between AI as a feature and AI as a foundation. Educators no longer need to stitch together tools that were never designed to connect—they can rely on one powerful platform that does it all."

• Instant Lesson Packages: Complete, differentiated lesson sets created with a few clicks, automatically adapted for multiple learning levels and aligned to state standards including TEKS.
• Instant Insights: Real-time AI analysis that provides smart recommendations for student grouping and generates personalized learning paths based on performance data.

This isn't theoretical AI—it's practical, proven technology that addresses the real challenges educators face daily."
