M-DCPS CONTINUES DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION THROUGH PARTNERSHIP As part of its continued digital conversion, Miami-Dade County Public Schools has expanded its partnership with Discovery Education, the country’s leading provider of K-12 digital content, to provide all of its 392 schools with Discovery Education Streaming Plus, a collection of rich multimedia assets aligned to state academic and testing standards. Discovery Education transforms teaching and learning with award-winning digital textbooks, multimedia content that supports the implementation of Common Core, professional development, assessment tools, and the largest professional learning community of its kind. The initiative includes Discovery Education Science, a multimedia curriculum supplement for elementary and middle school science education, and Digital Leader Network, which will provide extensive, comprehensive and transformative professional development sessions for educators. The Digital Leader Network will invest in building educators’ capacity, skills and impact in the classroom. The educators chosen to participate in the Digital Leader Network will receive collective, concerted and sustained professional learning to build their professional capital, including experimentation with various instructional strategies and tools, as well as day-long professional development events over a period of three years. Digital Leaders will also be empowered to share best practices in instructional innovation with their colleagues. # # # 13-JS/264/HD |
