School District Leaders from around the state convened in Howard to discuss ways to move education forward in our state. Howard-Suamico School District partnering with Discovery Education to hold a seminar for both rural and urban districts., “We know that collaboration is what is going to move this state forward,” said Josh Truman with Discovery Education.
Howard-Suamico Superintendent Damian LaCroix says one of the topics front in center is closing the achievement gap, “We feel a need to share our strategies but also reach out and learn from others,” said LaCroix.
Discovery Education helps school districts integrate the latest tools and techniques to improve student learning, something districts of all sizes say is helpful in teaching today’s students, “Yesterday our kids in Fall Creek were connecting with a classroom in Texas, that simple video leads to a discussion in what it looks like in places around the world. If you can do that, then all these kids are learning well beyond the walls of the classroom,” said Fall Creek Superintendent Joe Sanfelippo.
