Hello, Educators!
Welcome to the Discovery Education Blog, where we are 100% focused on supporting your love of teaching and collaborating with fellow educators. Read on to learn about what you’ll find here on the DE blog and how to get involved!
We SEE You
At Discovery Education, we are continuously amazed by educators and have the deepest respect for the many roles you perform daily: resilient teacher, classroom coach, curriculum leader, student cheerleader, parent liaison—among so many others.
So, we’d like to first thank you for all you do! For always tackling new challenges and adjusting to an ever-changing education landscape, for constantly being creative, learning new technologies and strategies, and never ceasing to support each and every one of your students.
We’re forever grateful that the resources we provide can help you accomplish that important mission, and we hope the DE Blog will only amplify that support.
