Belonging fuels impact. 💙 Inclusivity guides how we listen, collaborate, and design experiences so every learner feels seen and supported. Meet Julia Norwood, Kayleigh Church, and Nicki Church who lead with empathy, create space for a variety of voices, and strengthen our culture by embodying the value of inclusivity.

"If you give kids the opportunity - they soar!" 🚀 This was overheard from a Burckhalter educator during a recent Google Family STEM Day and they were absolutely right. 🤖 After STEM activations at their school earlier in the week, Burckhalter Elementary students and their families stepped into Googleplex for an immersive day of hands-on learning designed by Discovery Education and powered by Google. They programmed robots, tested strategies, solved problems together and began connecting those STEM concepts to real career pathways. Students, families, organizations, and community partners were all learning alongside one another - asking questions, trying things, seeing what's possible. When access meeting opportunity, progress follows. ✨

"It’s about aligning kids to things they have an interest in, exposing them to career pathways, and that excitement is what brings them to school,” explains Dr. Romules Durant, CEO and Superintendent of Toledo Public Schools. At TPS, this isn’t just a vision. Students aren’t memorizing equations in isolation; they’re applying them on the job floor, in hospitals, and in labs - they are seeing firsthand how their future-ready classrooms tie directly to real-world careers. ➡️ Discover how they are redefining classrooms: bit.ly/477iLtA

In an era shaped by AI and rapid changes in the workforce, students are eager to be prepared for what's next. So how do we work together to ensure all students are future-ready? 🔑 District leaders hold the key to expanding career readiness programs that give students real-world skills and opportunities.

✨ Small moments in education add up to real progress. An educator adjusts a lesson in real time so every student can participate. A school team rethinks schedules to create space for deeper learning. A district ensures teacher voice is present in every PD. 🏆 The Discovery Education Awards were created to recognize the educators, schools, and districts, who are moving teaching and learning forward in meaningful ways. ➡️ If you’ve seen this kind of impact in action, submit a nomination: https://bit.ly/deawards26 Nominations are now open through March 16! 

🔭 What’s next for teaching and learning? If you're a district or school leader asking: ✨ How do we build coherence without adding complexity? 🚀 How do we embed future-ready skills without overwhelming teachers? 🔢 How do we rebuild confidence and momentum in math? 📈 How do we turn curiosity into measurable learning? 🌎 How do we prepare students to think critically in a complex world? Engage K-12 is designed specifically for leaders strengthening instructional systems - bringing together curriculum-aligned resources, AI-powered insights that save teachers time, and system-level strategies that drive measurable outcomes. ✅ Register: bit.ly/46R2AR2

Every invention begins with a spark of curiosity. ✨ On National Inventors’ Day, we’re proud to partner with 3M on the 3M Young Scientist Challenge, an extraordinary opportunity for students in grades 5–8 to transform curiosity into real-world solutions. Through mentorship with a 3M scientist, students develop and present an original innovation designed to solve an everyday problem. Along the way, they build critical thinking, communication, and future-ready STEM skills that extend far beyond the competition. 🔗 Enter this year's 3M Young Scientist Challenge by using the link in the comments!
