What Educators Say About DE

Having Discovery Education after our previous curriculum was like when Dorothy gets to Oz and everything goes from black and white to technicolor. There are so many ways for me to engage a wide variety of learners with needs and I feel supported by the material.

Discovery Education has changed our Science curriculum for the better by using real-world phenomena that allow our students to think critically and empirically.
Jacquelyn Freeman8th Grade Science Teacher, Maryland
Science Techbook is set up in a way to support all types of teacher preferences, allowing teachers to search by unit concepts, standards, topics, activities, text, or channels. The resources are endless, and the platform supports and respects the professionalism as teachers select what is best for the learning in their classrooms.
Lea BartchCoordinator of Science and Social Studies, Tennessee
I use Discovery Education Science Techbook for all three of my Science classes. When [students] are in control of the information they take ownership of their learning and we can have deeper conversations about things. It made it very easy to assess student learning and the students didn't realize that they were being assessed
