What’s a Day of Discovery?

A Day of Discovery is a professional learning experience focused on three simple but important goals: learn, share, connect.

Brought to you by the Discovery Education Community, these full-day professional learning events help teachers and support staff learn more about great classroom practice utilising digital content and tools, provide opportunities for participants to share strategies that are working, and connect attendees to their most valuable resource: each other.
