Resources and Instructional Strategies in Discovery Education

Over the last year, I have facilitated multiple Discovery Education professional development sessions.  Every staff member, in every content area, was able to find helpful resources.

With so many great resources available in our district, here are a few reasons why you should check out the collection of resources in Discovery Education:

• Videos: safe and school appropriate...no need to worry about ads or inappropriate content; can search by topic or standard with filters for grade levels. 
• Instructional Strategies: contains over 100 strategies that can be used to enrich your lessons in any content area.  Each one has a short pdf and video to describe the strategy, how to use it along with extension ideas.
• Media:  includes a collection of images and audio files; also includes the citation to make it easy to add images to presentations and provide source information.
