PeTeL offers dedicated learning environments for six science subjects — Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Middle School Science and Technology.
Its mission is to advance science and mathematics education in middle and high schools by personalizing learning experiences to match each student’s knowledge at any given time.
PeTeL is the result of a unique collaboration between scientists from the Department of Science Teaching at the Weizmann Institute of Science, software developers, and selected leading teachers from across Israel.
The platform is available to schools and teachers at no cost and is built on the widely used Moodle system — the same platform operating in most schools nationwide, including those utilizing the Mashov school management system.
PeTeL offers a shared repository of high-quality interactive content, fully aligned with national curriculum standards across the supported subjects.
Teachers joining PeTeL receive a personal environment where they can manage their teaching and learning activities for each of their classes:
• Build customized teaching sequences tailored to their students by adopting and adapting activities from the shared repository.
• Gain real-time insights into student performance — including understanding of tasks, engagement levels, and success rates.
Real-time feedback enables teachers to make data-driven adjustments to their teaching sequences and guide students toward learning materials that match their individual knowledge levels.
In practice, PeTeL environments truly bring personalized teaching and learning to life.
PeTeL empowers teachers to design personalized learning sequences for their classes by adopting, adapting, or adding original content.
With PeTeL’s built-in performance analytics, teachers can make informed instructional decisions.
PeTeL also fosters a vibrant national community, enabling teachers to share insights and successful activities — and to learn from one another’s experiences.
PeTeL provides access to collaborative repositories of diagnostic assessments and high-quality interactive learning materials, continuously developed by the Weizmann Institute’s Department of Science Teaching, teacher communities, teaching centers, and teachers themselves.
The PeTeL development team actively researches and designs programs for integrating personalized teaching and learning approaches within technology-rich classrooms.
Based on these programs, the team offers teachers a variety of training opportunities and practical experiences, helping them successfully implement personalized instruction in their classrooms.
