Pine Tree Independent School District, located in Texas, has announced a significant expansion of its partnership with the global edtech leader, Discovery Education. The expanded partnership aims to support the district’s commitment to providing innovative science instruction to its students, enhancing the district’s science education program.
The partnership, which began in 2019, has already seen significant success in the district, with teachers reporting improved student engagement and increased academic achievement. The expanded partnership will see Discovery Education’s comprehensive science program, Discovery Education Science, rolled out across the district, providing teachers with a suite of digital resources and tools to support their teaching.
The program will provide students with access to a wide range of interactive digital lessons, simulations, and virtual labs, engaging them in the learning process and making complex scientific concepts more accessible. The program will also provide teachers with professional development opportunities, guiding them in the effective integration of technology into their teaching practices.
“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Discovery Education, as we believe that technology has the power to transform the way our students learn,” said Pamela Perry, Superintendent of Pine Tree Independent School District. “Our partnership with Discovery Education will enable us to provide our students with the highest quality science education, preparing them for success in their future careers.”
The expanded partnership will also see the introduction of Discovery Education’s STEM Connect, a comprehensive resource that provides teachers with a deeper understanding of the scientific and engineering practices, helping them to design and implement more effective science lessons. The program will also provide students with opportunities to engage in project-based learning, developing their critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.
The partnership is a testament to the district’s commitment to providing students with the best possible education, and its willingness to explore innovative approaches to teaching and learning. The expanded partnership will support the district’s goal of preparing students for success in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world.
