Student Voice & Choice

Whole Learner 1024

How We Support the Whole Learner

Pixton supports the whole learner by addressing cognitive, social-emotional, and content needs together. It provides multiple means of expression and representation to engage diverse learners.

Built-in scaffolds like chunked tasks, easy revisions, and vocabulary supports reduce cognitive load, while lessons that promote perspective-taking, creativity, and self-expression foster motivation and social-emotional growth. This combination helps every student learn in ways that match their strengths, needs, and interests.

Our Improvement Process

Pixton gathers continuous educator input via support requests, customer satisfaction surveys, newsletter polls, and focus groups, then makes updates accordingly. Feedback has driven culturally diverse avatars/scenes/props, student collaboration, the AI Activity Maker for assigning/scoring (with commenting coming), and major Comic Maker UX upgrades. Pixton also adds core-subject content weekly, tunes newsletter timing/content, and strengthens alignment to state standards and reading programs.
