Discovery Education Honored with 2008
Teachers’ Choice Award for the Classroom

Discovery Education™ Science Connects Educators
to Stimulating, High-Quality Resources

Silver Spring, Md. (September 18, 2007) - As international studies continue to show American students falling behind their peers worldwide in science test scores, educators across the U.S. are seeking to better engage students in science education. Discovery Education Science provides teachers digital multimedia resources that supplement existing curriculum and encourages students to dive deeper into the world of science. Learning magazine has honored Discovery Education with a 2008 Teachers’ Choice Award, recognizing Discovery Education Science as an exemplary product.

Discovery Education Science is a comprehensive supplemental multimedia resource that provides dynamic, high-quality content in a flexible online format. The online destination provides science resources that engage today’s technology-savvy students, helps educators understand student progress to better target instruction, and allows for inquiry-based and explorative approaches to learning.

“The standards driven assessments and activities make Discovery Education Science the perfect tool for differentiated instruction,” said Barbara De Santis, a 5th grade teacher from Samsel Upper Elementary School in Parlin, N.J. “My students can access resources according to their skill level and complete assignments tailored to their needs. The virtual labs and integrated science simulations provide learning opportunities to enhance my classroom and laboratory experiences. My students and I are looking forward to a year of discovery and growth - especially in those areas of critical thinking and process skills.”

Designed specifically for middle-school educators, Discovery Education Science is organized into three areas: physical science, life science, and earth and space science, for easy integration into science curricula. Through Discovery Education Science, students can access the resources that encourage exploration, stimulate critical thinking and deepen understanding.

“I’m very grateful Discovery Education Science has been honored with this award,” said Coni Rechner, Vice President of Marketing for Discovery Education. “It is even more special because theTeachers’ Choice Awards are chosen by a panel of teacher-judges. Thank you to everyone at Learning Magazine for this recognition.”

For the last decade, the Learning magazine Teachers’ Choice Awards have heralded the very best in classroom-tested, teacher-recommended products. Each year the program’s nationwide panel of teacher-judges names the standouts in books, classroom supplies, educational games, software, Web sites, and more.
