Case Study: Miami-Dade County Public Schools achieves stronger science performance with Discovery Education

Miami-Dade County Public Schools raises science FCAT scores by 7 points with Discovery Education

Miami-Dade County Public Schools, one of the largest school districts in the United States, faced the challenge of ensuring consistent and equitable curriculum access for its diverse population of over 345,000 students. The district needed to catch up with the needs of modern learners and build educator capacity to transform teaching and learning. They turned to Discovery Education for a solution involving digital resources and professional development.

Discovery Education implemented its services, which included integrating its vetted digital content from Experience into the student portal, providing curriculum alignment and pacing guides, and delivering customized professional development. As a result of this partnership with Discovery Education, the district achieved a 7 point increase on 8th and 11th grade science FCAT exams, with evidence showing that use of Discovery Education Streaming Plus was associated with better student performance.
