Arizona Brings Discovery Ed Platform to Schools Across the State

The Arizona Department of Education has partnered with Discovery Education to provide Discovery's Experience platform to all teachers and students throughout the state.

Through the partnership, educators will have access to standards-aligned content, digital lessons and professional development tools and resources via the Discovery Educator Network (DEN) Community.

"Digital resources like those provided to teachers and students through our new partnership with Discovery Education have the ability to take students beyond their classroom and introduce them to people, places, and ideas they might not otherwise encounter," said Superintendent of Public Instruction, Kathy Hoffman. "However, in the past, access to transformative, high-quality digital content was not equitable. Our new partnership with Discovery Education brings these resources to classrooms across our state, ensuring every Arizonan student has the opportunity to access a new world of information and ideas from any device."

The Arizona Department of Education has made public a number of its projects using recovery funds. Further information can be found on ADE's site (list last updated in May as of this writing).
