If you have been using Edulastic and recently noticed the platform looks a little different, you are not imagining things. Edulastic is now officially known as Pear Assessment — and understanding what that means for teachers, students, and school districts is exactly what this guide is for.
Whether you are searching for Edulastic Pear Assessment login help, want to know what features changed, or are evaluating the platform for your school, this complete guide covers everything you need to know.
What Is Edulastic Pear Assessment?
Edulastic Pear Assessment is a K–12 online assessment platform that helps teachers create, assign, and auto-grade tests, quizzes, and benchmarks in real time. It is now part of the Pear Deck Learning family of educational tools, which also includes Pear Deck (interactive presentations), Pear Practice, and Pear Deck Tutor.
The platform serves teachers, school administrators, and district leaders who want to move beyond paper-based testing and use real-time data to drive instruction. It is designed to work for everything from quick daily exit tickets to large-scale district benchmark assessments.
Why Did Edulastic Change to Pear Assessment?
The name change is the result of a corporate acquisition and strategic rebranding. Here is a quick timeline:
- 2021: GoGuardian acquired Edulastic, adding its assessment capabilities to a growing edtech portfolio that already included Pear Deck.
- January 2024: GoGuardian officially launched Pear Deck Learning, a unified brand bringing together Edulastic, Pear Deck, TutorMe, and Giant Steps under one roof.
- Result: Edulastic was rebranded as Pear Assessment to reflect its place in this connected ecosystem.
The good news for existing users: nothing about your account changed. Your data, classes, and assessments carried over completely. Only the name and branding were updated.
Key Features of Edulastic Pear Assessment
The platform packs a wide range of tools into both its free and premium tiers. Here are the standout features teachers and administrators rely on most:
1. Large Standards-Aligned Question Bank
Pear Assessment gives educators access to more than 35,000 standards-aligned questions and assessments covering math, language arts, science, and social studies. Teachers can use pre-built items or create their own from scratch.
2. 30+ Technology-Enhanced Question Types
Unlike basic quiz tools, Pear Assessment supports over 30 technology-enhanced question types, including multiple choice, drag-and-drop, graphing, math equations, essay responses, audio responses, and more. This variety helps students prepare for the format of state standardized tests.
3. Auto-Grading and Instant Data
One of the platform’s most valued features is automatic grading. As soon as a student submits an assessment, teachers receive instant data on performance — no manual scoring required for most question types. This saves hours every week.
4. Live Class Board
The Live Class Board lets teachers monitor student progress in real time during an active assessment. Teachers can see which students are on which question, who has submitted, and who may be struggling — all from a single screen.
5. Standards-Based Reporting
Reports in Pear Assessment are aligned to academic standards, making it easy to identify exactly which skills individual students have mastered and which need more attention. This makes planning differentiated instruction straightforward.
6. Student Accommodations
Teachers can set up accommodations including extra time, text-to-speech, and larger text for individual students. Once configured, those settings apply automatically to all future assignments — no need to reset them each time.
7. Secure Testing Tools
For high-stakes testing, Pear Assessment includes browser lockdown (Kiosk Mode), dynamic passwords, and tab-switch detection. If a student navigates away from an active test for more than five seconds, the teacher is alerted on the Live Class Board.
8. AI-Powered Features
The platform now includes embedded AI tools, including an AI Question Generator that can produce standards-aligned questions from a topic or source material, and an Assisted Rubric feature that auto-generates scoring suggestions and feedback for essay responses.
9. Video Quiz
Teachers can turn any video into a formative assessment using Video Quiz, which allows them to embed auto-generated, standards-aligned questions directly into a video. This is especially useful for flipped classroom models and blended learning.
10. LMS Integration
Pear Assessment integrates with Google Classroom, Clever, Canvas, and Microsoft Teams, allowing for seamless roster syncing and single sign-on access for both teachers and students.
How to Log In to Edulastic Pear Assessment
The login process is the same as it always was for Edulastic users. Here is a quick step-by-step:
- Go to app.edulastic.com/login (the URL has not changed)
- Choose your sign-in method: Google SSO, Clever, Office 365, or username and password
- If your school uses single sign-on, you may be logged in automatically through your school portal
- Select your school and district on your first login to ensure shared assessments appear correctly
For students: Visit edulastic.com, click “Student,” and sign in using Google, Clever, or the class code provided by your teacher.
Tip: If your school recently transitioned to the Pear Assessment branding, no account reset is needed. Existing credentials carry over seamlessly.

How Pear Assessment Fits Into the Pear Deck Learning Ecosystem

- Pear Deck — Interactive presentations with real-time student responses
- Pear Practice (formerly Giant Steps) — Gamified skills practice
- Pear Deck Tutor (formerly TutorMe) — On-demand tutoring support
Together, these tools cover the full instructional cycle: teach with Pear Deck, practice with Pear Practice, assess with Pear Assessment, and support struggling students with Pear Deck Tutor — all under one platform login and one data dashboard.
Who Uses Edulastic Pear Assessment?
The platform is used across the K–12 spectrum by:
- Classroom teachers who need quick, reliable formative assessments and exit tickets
- Instructional coaches building common assessments for professional learning communities
- School administrators monitoring grade-level and school-wide performance trends
- District leaders deploying benchmark assessments and tracking standards mastery at scale
Combined with the broader Pear Deck Learning suite, the platform is already used by more than 21 million students and 1.1 million educators across the United States.
