Discovery Education for Administrators
This tab includes curriculum and assessment resources, research findings, professional development ideas, and hardware information. One of the most unique features of this database is the curriculum alignment option. A team at Discovery Ed will work with districts to "create a more vibrant curriculum by embedding core digital content in your school board pacing guides, scope and sequence documents, or instructional guides."

Check on the "On This Day" on the right hand side...
Kim Johnston, FCS teacher at Conewago Valley High School shares the Health and Guidance On This Day with her high school students every day during homeroom and the Language Arts version to her daily literacy groups. "On This Day is a great activating strategy. My students are excited to walk into my room each day and see this screen up on the board. It has really gotten them into history, and exposed them to some people and events they never would have heard about" (Johnston, 2012).
