Case Study: Washoe County School District streamlines STEM education with Discovery Education

Streamlining STEM Education to Better Support Teachers

Washoe County School District in Nevada faced post-pandemic challenges with student engagement, learning loss, and inconsistent STEM instruction across its elementary, middle, and high schools. To address this, the Nevada State Department of Education selected Discovery Education Experience as a statewide solution for its ease of use and standards-aligned content.

Discovery Education provided Washoe's teachers with a flexible platform to supplement STEM instruction in various ways, from whole-class to individual assignments. The solution increased student engagement and helped teachers enhance the rigor of their lessons. The district continues its partnership with Discovery Education, focusing on expanding usage to high schools and improving communication about the platform's benefits.
