Arizona Brings Discovery Ed Platform to Schools Across the State. See more state education and legislative news here
The Arizona Department of Education has partnered with Discovery Education to provide Discovery’s Experience platform to all teachers and students throughout the state.
Through the partnership, educators will have access to standards-aligned content, digital lessons and professional development tools and resources via the Discovery Educator Network (DEN) Community.
“Digital resources like those provided to teachers and students through our new partnership with Discovery Education have the ability to take students beyond their classroom and introduce them to people, places, and ideas they might not otherwise encounter,” said Superintendent of Public Instruction, Kathy Hoffman. “However, in the past, access to transformative, high-quality digital content was not equitable. Our new partnership with Discovery Education brings these resources to classrooms across our state, ensuring every Arizonan student has the opportunity to access a new world of information and ideas from any device.”

Douglas renews call for tax hike to fund teacher raises. See related stories here
State schools chief Diane Douglas is renewing her call for a tax hike to provide a meaningful pay raise for teachers even as fellow Republican Gov. Doug Ducey insists it’s not necessary.
In her annual State of Education speech Monday, Douglas cited statistics showing that more than one out of every five teaching vacancies at the beginning of this school year still remained unfilled four months later.
“While teacher pay is not the only factor leading to the shortage, it is a big factor,” she told members of the House Education Committee.
