Discover Data, developed in collaboration with the Nielsen Foundation and the National AfterSchool Association, offers exciting, relatable resources to introduce middle and high school students across the country to the power of understanding data. Why, you ask?
Data Science is one of the twenty fastest growing occupations in the world, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That said, nearly EVERY high-growth career uses data in some way on a regular basis. Whether you are in sales, teaching, or computer programming, many professions require the collection and analysis of data. We created the Discover Data program to empower educators to engage students and help them see how they can use data to solve problems and make decisions in school, at home and at work (one day not too far in the future!).
Discover Data offers a suite of educator resources resources that make teaching data easy, engaging, and interactive. If you’re an educator seeking turnkey ways to infuse data concepts into your lessons, the site offers instructional support, real-world data sets, and multimedia content to bring data and data-driven careers to life for your students.
Curriculum Connectors provide several beginner and intermediate-level activities tied to a specific theme (holidays, gender equity, sustainability) and give educators the opportunity to integrate real-world data sets into existing curriculum or programming.
Video Career Profiles highlight the diverse personalities and careers in data and showcase ways that these real-world professionals use data both in and out of work.
Community Briefs allow learners of all ages across communities to explore the world of data and get involved, no matter their level of experience.
In a new feature, students can now even submit a question for a real-world data expert directly from the site, as well as explore existing answers to questions submitted by their peers. If you want to extend the learning even further, you can request a virtual volunteer visit with a data professional. Ready-to-use activities, a student interactive, and classroom activities are also available for students to get involved individually and with their peers.
Data can be fun and interesting no matter the setting. Whether in or out of school, data can be used to explore everything from sports to business trends to our own personal habits and preferences. Connecting data with students’ lives and interests will help them to create a better understanding of what data is, and a greater motivation for them to learn about the capabilities and potential of data for their everyday lives and futures.
Get your students started today at DiscoverDatainSchool.org or in the Discover Data channel in the Discovery Education learning platform.

Try to answer the following questions about the video (one focal question per viewing?)
What are students doing? (e.g., they’re building something, they’re cooking, they’re designing)
Where are the settings in which they’re doing it? (e.g., they’re at the beach, they’re in an art room, they’re out in a field)
How are they doing their work? (e.g., they’re collaborating around a screen, they’re talking to people on the street, they’re cutting boards)
How is this learning similar to or different from the learning that our students experience locally? How often do our students get to learn this way and in which classes and settings?
What are the benefits of this kind of learning for students and do we want more of this locally? Why or why not?

A school leader in one of my Facebook groups asked if anyone had a discussion guide for the next time their teachers held vertical discussions across grade levels. Here was my response:
I’ve done this with schools before. Not exactly sure what the desired outcome of your conversations is, but I’ve seen really powerful discussion arise from the simple questions of “What do you expect students to know and be able to do by the end of their school year with you?” (to the lower grade team) and “What do you expect students to know and be able to do when they enter your classroom at the beginning of the school year?” (to the higher grade team)…
Small group conversation around those two questions can easily fill most of an hour (be sure to have them take notes!). Also helpful to have some debrief time at the end where you just ask folks “What did you hear today? What does that mean for our practice? How can I be of support?“
Good luck and have fun!
What do you like your educators to talk about in their vertical discussions?

Sad news out of Palm Coast, Florida…
Over 500 students at Flagler-Palm Coast High Schoolprotested the state’s anti-LGBTQ ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill yesterday by walking out of school for 20 minutes or so. The main organizer of the event was suspended ‘until further notice’ (which is illegal under U.S. Supreme Court precedent) by the high school principal for bringing and distributing pride flags to students. The principal told the student that he was ‘disrespectful and openly advocating against staff.’ Before the protest, the principal pulled the student aside and ‘voiced his opposition’ to the pride flags.
As the article in the Daytona Beach News-Journal notes, “students who showed up to the stadium with flags and other pride-related merchandise were blocked by administrators attempting to confiscate them.” Additionally, “students at the event said administrators circled protesters in the stadium, threatening them with discipline if they didn’t turn in their pride and LGBTQ+ flags.”
The school district spokesperson said that student leaders were told no flags prior to and at the beginning of the event “so as to avoid undue safety concerns and campus disruptions.” Here are the flags in question that apparently were a disruptive safety concern:
The school district superintendent also has banned the book, All Boys Aren’t Blue, from school libraries so there appear to be ongoing issues in the community regarding equity, acceptance, and inclusion.
As student bodies continue to become more diverse – and as LGBTQIA+ students and their families continue to advocate for greater acceptance of their human rights and dignity – it is imperative that school administrators figure out ways to move their school systems forward, not backward.
