Lessonbank

"We are honored to be recognized as a semifinalist in UpPrize, which celebrates initiatives that drive positive societal change," said John Pascasio, Developer and Founder of Lessonbank. "At Lessonbank, we believe that education should be accessible to all students, regardless of life’s interruptions. Our platform empowers educators to ensure that every student stays on track, while parents can stay informed and involved in their child’s learning journey." Pascasio recalls missing a lot of school as a student in Highlands School District in Natrona Heights, Pa., when family challenges such as a low-income and single parent household made school less of a priority at times. It wasn’t until he befriended Michael Foster, a classmate whose parents were teachers, that he began to recognize the importance of attendance and the gaps in his own comprehension due to missing class. Now, Foster is also a teacher, and has witnessed an overwhelming increase in truancy in today’s public school system. As the demand for flexible and accessible learning solutions grows, especially in the wake of the global pandemic, Lessonbank has become a vital tool for schools and educators to bridge the gap between classroom learning and remote access. The platform is equipped with user-friendly features that allow teachers to upload lesson videos, organize them by subject or grade, and track student engagement with the content. Additionally, parents can play an active role in supporting their child’s education by reviewing lessons and assisting with homework based on real-time classroom instruction. The recognition of Lessonbank as a semifinalist underscores the platform’s potential for widespread positive impact in the education sector. With a focus on increasing educational equity and ensuring that no student falls behind, Lessonbank is setting a new standard for educational accessibility and consistency.
