Check out one of the newest Discovery Education partnerships, Ready Classroom – a partnership with the Ad Council, Ready Kids, and Discovery Education.  On the site you can access emergency preparedness resources for students, teachers, schools, and families.  The National Preparedness Map provides information about the potential for national disasters in each state, video resources, and preparedness checklists.

Join us for our final DEN webinar of the school year on May 26 at 7 PM ET.  We will discuss all things DEN-related and unveil some very special awards to members of the DEN community in our first-ever DENnies Awards Ceremony.  Register today!

STAR Discovery Educators are invited to join us on June 18 and 19 in Silver Spring, MD for a special strand of the SilverDocs International Film Festival – SchoolDocs.  Great professional development, access to screenings, and more!  If you are interested in attending either day, contact Lance Rougeux (lance_rougeux@discovery.com) asap.  We have some Educator Passes to offer to our STARs, but the supplies are limited.
