| Q: Does Everyday Teaching Essentials offer resources for educators at any grade level, K-12? |
A: Yes! Everyday Teaching Essentials includes resources for all educators working with students grades K-12. Some resources can be used by all teachers, regardless of the grade level/s they teach. Others are targeted to educators of specific grade-bands: K-2, 3-5, K-5, 6-8, 9-12, 6-12 and K-12.
After selecting one of the five resource themes, teachers can use filters to narrow down what kind of content, grade band, and duration of resource that best fits their needs, including grade band.
| Q: Is the content in Everyday Teaching Essentials new, or is it also available in DE Experience or other products? |
A: Yes, the content in Everyday Teaching Essentials is exclusive to this product. It was developed separately from other DE products and isn't duplicated anywhere else. In addition, the resources in Everyday Teaching Essentials are routinely updated based on teacher ratings and feedback.
| Q: Are the resources in Everyday Teaching Essentials vetted? |
A: Yes! Our resources are created and vetted by our educational experts and incorporate research from Marzano Academy and the McRel Institute. You can view cited research by asset title and type by clicking the cited research link at the bottom of any page in Everyday Teaching Essentials.
| Q: How is Everyday Teaching Essentials different from the Instructional Strategies Center? |
A: Everyday Teaching Essentials (ETE) is designed to improve educators' practice as a whole and fit into a teacher's demanding schedule. Educators can review all ETE micro-lessons, resources, and videos in five-minutes or less. The DE Instructional Strategies Center focuses on specific strategies to use with students to help play, model, and personalize instruction and the majority require more review time.
| Q: Can I purchase Everyday Teaching Essentials without purchasing Discovery Education Experience? |
A: No. At this time, Everyday Teaching Essentials is not available a-la-carte. A district must have purchased Discovery Education Experience in order to purchase Everyday Teaching Essentials.
| Q: If our teachers are using Everyday Teaching Essentials, do you recommend teachers still participate in traditional Discovery Education Professional Learning offerings? |
A: Absolutely! Our Professional Learning offerings build educator knowledge of DE products and help teachers implement each product effectively. Everyday Teaching Essentials is DE product-neutral, focusing on how to help educators solve immediate instructional challenges and improve their teaching practice.
