Jackson Hole Middle School (JHMS) today announced the selection of Discovery Education to support the creation of engaging science and social studies learning experiences in the school’s classrooms.  Discovery Education is the global leader in standards-aligned digital curriculum resources, engaging content, and professional learning for K-12 classrooms.

Teton County School District secondary administrators are among the first participants in a program developed by a University of Kansas education research center for enhancing leadership skills of school principals to promote equity in education.

The project will work with 70 principals in four districts across the country to increase their leadership capacities through professional learning and job-embedded coaching. They will learn as they apply proven methods for improving educational outcomes for students by ensuring equity for students of color, students segregated because of disability or learning disorders, students who are high achievers, who are English language learners, who are refugees, or who live in poverty, among others.
