Recent findings from Discovery Education link Streaming usage
to increased student engagement and achievement.
Findings from multiple studies, combined, tell a consistent and promising story of how Streaming access is related to outcomes that matter across the country for students overall, and especially for racial/ethnic minorities and students impacted by poverty, disabilities, and limited English proficiency.
The research studies show that students in elementary, middle and high school with regular access to Streaming resources have higher attendance rates, and are outpacing their peers on state assessments. Streaming access is, in fact, making a significant difference in teaching and learning.
Initial findings were based on three separate studies, conducted in districts in three different states – Texas, California, and Tennessee – and supported by the independent findings of a published university study. A subsequent study was conducted for the entire state of Kentucky. Click below to review the two research bulletins that detail these studies.
