DBA Penda Learning Purchase of Penda licenses Grades 6-12 Science (Academic Services) Meeting Aug 26, 2025 - Regular School Board Meeting Type Action (Consent) Recommended Action Approve Sole Source Agreement #23107-SSD-SK-IV Learning 2020, Inc. DBA Penda Learning purchase of Penda licenses grades 6-12 science. Goals Academic Excellence DESCRIPTION : Penda Science provides science intervention and supplemental support across all middle and high schools. Penda Science is a science intervention resource built for Grades 3-12 biology. Using Curriculum Planning and Learning Management System (CPALMS) and Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) item specs, Penda has hand-crafted three differentiated, scaffolded activities and a mini assessment to each of the Florida State Academic Standards for Science (SASS) standards. A suite of assessments coupled with standards-based line-item analysis reporting is also available, including course assessments, and Statewide Science Assessment (SSA) and End of Course Exam (EOC) prep assessments. Penda activities and assessments have been hand-aligned to Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) science curriculum guides, enabling automated weekly student assignments and auto-grading, saving teacher’s valuable time and effort. The Penda platform is analyzing student work qualitatively and quantitively, to better understand and support student growth relative to school science goals and SSA/EOC preparedness – that’s where the standards-based reports and line-item analysis reports have been most impactful. In tandem with automated assignments and reporting, teachers are leveraging Penda to either remediate or accelerate students by assigning science activities to classes (for Tier 1), intervention groups (for Tier 2), or individual students (for Tier 3) based on needs. Per Rule 6A-1.012 (12) (d), F.A.C., commodities or contractual services available only from a single source may be exempted from the competitive solicitation requirements. When a school board believes that commodities or contractual services are available only from a single source, the school board shall electronically or otherwise publicly post a description of the commodities or contractual services sought for at least seven business days (07/07/2025 – 07/16/2025). If it is determined in writing by the school board, after reviewing any information received from prospective vendors, that the commodities or contractual services are available only from a single source, the school board shall provide notice of its intended decision to enter a single source contract in the manner specified in § 120.57(3), Florida Statutes, (07/16/2025 – 07/21/2025), and may negotiate on the best terms and conditions with the single source vendor. GAP ANALYSIS : Instructional Support and Continuity: Penda’s robust features are being used as an additional support to science educators and to sites experiencing teacher vacancies. This has helped to ensure instructional continuity with or without a full-time, certified science teacher. Automated, Tailored Assignments: Penda integrates with our student information system to auto-roster, auto-assign, and auto-grade high-quality, engaging science activities and assessments have been hand-aligned to HCPS science curriculum guides, keeping science instruction going no matter the situation (vacancies, long-term sub, out-of-field teachers). Differentiated Instruction & Intervention Support: Teachers not only have access to activities and assessments for their current grade band, but to the former/lower grade band. This gives teachers (and coaches) the ability to provide Tier 2 intervention to support students who require remediation due to unfinished learning. For every Florida SASS standard, Penda has built three differentiated, scaffolded activities. Penda also offers a grouping functionality to more efficiently differentiate instruction and for progress-monitoring. Equity & Accessibility: To better support Level 1 and 2, struggling readers, English Language Learners (ELL), and English as Second or Other Language (ESOL), students, and Exceptional Student Education (ESE), accommodations, Penda offers an immersive reader (with read-aloud capability) and language translation tool (supports 60+ languages), leveling the playing field and providing high-quality science instructions for all students. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: Instructional Staff Feedback: Our district coaches and teachers reported increased student engagement and conceptual understanding when Penda was used to support instruction for individual learners with diverse needs including ELL and struggling readers. Administrator Feedback: Our school administrators view Penda as a solution to maintain standards-aligned instruction with or without a consistent classroom teacher in place. All HCPS middle schools have/are utilizing Penda as instructional support in all science classrooms and as outside of the classroom via purposeful homework assignments to boost student performance on the Florida Grade 8 SSA. Core Instructional Materials “Gap” Year(s): In 2023–2024, Penda was implemented in all middle school science courses, high school environmental science, and high school biology. The district heavily leaned on Penda during the nearly two-year core instructional material adoption ‘gap’ in science. District Science Team Analysis: School-level usage reports of Penda Science, standards-mastery reports, and data gleaned from the Florida SSA/Biology EOC Exam have been triangulated and analyzed year-over-year. Our schools and the district, as a whole, has been able to maintain science growth and achievement year-over-year. Grade 8 SSA: From 2023 to 2024, we’ve been able to maintain the district’s average mean scale score (196), while increasing the percentage of Level 3 or above by two percentage points (from 41 percent to 43 percent). We are seeing a shift in the number of students achieving Level 3+ status – Level 4 increased by 1, Level 5 increased by two percent. Biology EOC: From 2023 to 2024, we’ve been successful in improving both the mean scale score (402-403) and percentage of Level 3 or above (62 percent to 64 percent). We are also seeing a shift in the number of students achieving Level 3+ status – Level 3 increased by one percent, Level 4 increased by one percent. Impact Evaluation/Statistical Analysis: In previous years, use of Penda Science has statistically been correlated to increased student achievement, particularly in middle school science on the Florida Grade 8 SSA. Penda Science has applied to perform research/statistical analysis for the 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 (scores to be released in May 2025), which is under review. Year-over-Year Penda Utilization: The scale and effectiveness of Penda’s implementation in HCPS have been thus far observed (state testing to occur May 2025) through its significant engagement metrics. In the 2024 – 2025 school year alone, over one million activities have been completed across the district. This represents a 34 percent increase in middle school usage and a 13 percent increase in high school usage compared to the previous year. Despite broader adoption, average scores have remained consistently strong - middle school students average 83 percent, while high school students average 87 percent. This suggests that even with an expanding user base, instructional quality and academic rigor are being maintained. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: As we strive to provide continuity for science instruction in Grades 6-12, the use of Penda in both in-school and out-of-school settings is expected to result in: Increased Engagement: Increased student engagement, learning in all models of instruction, opportunities for students to visualize, manipulate, and compare while learning challenging concepts through a student-centered learning environment that engages all students. Improved Performance: Targeted, data-driven instruction tied to state assessment outcomes, continued growth in conceptual learning contributing to student achievement Teacher Professional Development & Content Support: Collaboration with district content supervisors to provide professional learning opportunities for teachers to strengthen pedagogy and implement best practices, and ongoing Professional Development includes in-person sessions, virtual office hours, and asynchronous training supporting teacher confidence and instructional effectiveness. Instructional Continuity: Direct and immediate support for critical vacancy schools, so that science instruction can continue regardless of a classroom vacancy. Teacher Support: Reduced workload and clear insights through robust reporting tools, increased support for teachers through virtual office hours and other virtual learning and face-to-face options.

Consent Agenda Subject 1.05 Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Agreement #25339-XMT-EST ExploreLearning, LLC (Academic Services) Meeting Aug 26, 2025 - Regular School Board Meeting Type Action (Consent) Recommended Action Approve HCPS Agreement #25339-XMT-EST ExploreLearning, LLC. Goals Academic Excellence DESCRIPTION : ExploreLearning, LLC will provide an online subscription service of science Gizmos for Grades 6-12. The ExploreLearning, LLC license fees include annual site licenses for school administrators, science teachers, and students along with ongoing upgrades and maintenance, including newly produced Gizmos and Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) cases that are added to the available library throughout the year. Gizmos provides science intervention and supplemental support across all middle and high schools. Gizmos drive inquiry and exploration by providing students with a platform to collect and analyze data in real time, while developing a strong conceptual understanding of the science content. Gizmos are versatile instructional tools that are best used by teachers during whole class or small group instruction, as individual homework, and as formative assessment. The inquiry-based design allows students to experiment in a variety of ways, either through open or structured inquiry. Gizmos simulations and models are a “best practice” for argumentative learning opportunities in alignment with traditional learning in science laboratories since students are able to conduct standards-aligned experiments through the simulation platform. All science students have access to Gizmos in Grades 6-8. The program provides continuity for students who may be learning in classrooms but also accelerating learning in out-of-school supports such as summer programming or after school mentoring and support. Students carry their own Gizmos license so the program may be utilized with (HCPS) students at community and cultural organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club of Tampa Bay or Museum of Science and Industry. During the 2024-2025 school year, students and teachers accessed over 162,777 Gizmos in Grades 6-12. Per F.A.C. 6A-1.012(11)(b), the requirement for requesting competitive solicitations for commodities or contractual services from three or more sources is hereby waived as authorized by Section 1010.04(4)(a), F.S., for the purchase by district school boards of educational services and any type of copyrighted materials, and for library and reference books, and printed library cards, where such materials are purchased directly from the producer or publisher, the owner of the copyright, an exclusive agent within the state, a governmental agency or a recognized educational institution. GAP ANALYSIS : Through the use of Gizmos science simulations, students can predict, manipulate, and analyze data effectively and efficiently while communicating results using scientific and mathematical language as a means to develop literacy skills. Gizmos allow students to strengthen collaboration and evidence-based argumentation skills through shared lesson materials and STEM cases that other programs and instructional tools do not provide, Gizmos provide a virtual lab experience for students and allows for a seamless transition from a brick and mortar setting to a blended/virtual learning environment that augment our hands on and inquiry-based experiences, and Gizmos can be used in whole group settings, for small group instruction, and in independent learning, all of which are integral parts of our Instructional Framework for Science Education. Gizmos provides the following research proves instructional techniques that have a strong positive impact of student achievement: Representing new knowledge in graphic/nonlinguistic formats, Using manipulatives to explore new knowledge and practice applying it, Generating and testing hypotheses about new knowledge, and Direct presentation of new knowledge through demonstration and explanation. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: In previous years, frequent use of Gizmos has been correlated to increased student achievement, particularly with concepts in Grades 6-12 science that are abstract and require modeling/simulations for our learners to visualize the concepts. Teachers reported increased student engagement and conceptual understanding when Gizmos was used in Grades 6-12 science instruction. In the 2024-2025 school year, HCPS experienced 154,565 logins with 162,777 views in Grades 6-7 science. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: As we strive to provide continuity for science experimentation and inquiry-based activities in Grades 6-12 science, the use of Gizmos in both in-school and out-of-school settings is expected to result in the following: Increased student engagement in learning in all learning models of instruction.
