Case Study: Verona Area School District builds student leadership and community with Discovery Education Virtual Field Trips

Creating a Stronger Learning Community through Virtual Field Trips

Verona Area School District sought innovative ways to engage its K-12 students with learning beyond the traditional classroom and to elevate their sense of community and leadership. They found a solution through the resources available on the Discovery Education Experience platform.

Discovery Education's Virtual Field Trips were implemented to create interactive, cross-grade level learning experiences. This solution empowered high school students to design activities for younger peers, fostering leadership and building a stronger district-wide community. As a result, these collaborative events have been hailed by teachers as a best-in-class learning experience, with the program gaining more traction and planned expansion each year.
