About PeTeL

PeTeL: Personalized Teaching & Learning for Science and Mathematics

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.

Managing Teaching & Building Learning Sequences

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.

Personalized Teaching & Learning

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.
