The resources within Discovery Education Experience, the essential companion for engaged K-12 classrooms, include:
- Life Skills Channel: This collection helps students develop critical life skills in the classroom and beyond, including topics like resiliency, character, personal responsibility, and more.
- Biking and Mental Health Article Analysis: Middle school students will learn to identify the author’s purpose and evaluate how evidence is used to support the claim in a national news article from The Week Junior about the mental health benefits of cycling.
- Working with a Team: In this wellness activity, high school students will learn about the value of teamwork and collaboration.
Discovery Education also offers free resources in collaboration with select partners, including:
- Ready-to-Use Activities: Students can explore ready-to-use activities on topics such as substance misuse, medication safety, and mental health that are designed to empower them to make smart, healthy choices. With content for students in grades K-12, the activities in both English and Spanish feature educator guides, interactive content, lesson plans, videos, and more. The materials are from Dose of Knowledge: A Pharmacists Teach program, a resource developed by CVS Health in partnership with Discovery Education.
- Animated Topic Series: The animated video series offers students in grades 6-12 relevant lessons focused on body confidence and its role in self-esteem. Accompanying classroom activities, educator guides, and videos empower educators to plug and play the content into any lesson. These resources are from Amazing Me!, a program with the Dove Self-Esteem Project dedicated to fostering self-esteem and body confidence among students.
“Confidence and curiosity go hand-in-hand to support student wellness and success. It’s important to offer all students a wide array of resources to explore the topic of mental wellness,” said Lance Rougeux, Senior Vice President of Curriculum Instruction & Student Engagement at Discovery Education.
