Simplified, smarter standards across Pear Deck Learning

We've started rolling out unified standards across Pear Deck Learning, making it simpler to find and use the content you need. Think of it as a behind-the-scenes upgrade that delivers real benefits.

What's the deal?

• Smarter Search: Finding content in Pear Deck just got better. Search results are now more on-point.
• Select Your Preferred Standard Set: Pick your go-to standards and see the right standard tags right away in search results.
• Clear Standard Tags: Building your own lessons? Generating content with our AI tools? Our new unified standards tool makes tagging a breeze. The standards you selected will be displayed alongside your content.
• Standards You Can See: Whether it's our library or something a colleague made, you'll see clear standard tags so you know exactly what's aligned. Heads up: if you've picked specific preferred standards, other tags might be tucked away to keep your view clean.

Why Unified Standards Matters to Teachers:

We know you're busy. Hunting for content that actually matches your standards can be a time-sink. We built unified standards to cut through the noise by:

• Keeping Standards Consistent: No more guessing if a tag is right.
• Showing Connections: See how different standards relate, so you get more relevant options.
• Making Search Faster: Find what you need without the endless scroll.

This consistency means you spend less time learning different workflows and more time focusing on instruction.
