Discovery Education Espresso – A Diverse Resource for Schools
“Espresso has continued to grow in providing resources to meet diverse needs. For us this is key. As a school we are very diverse. We have pupils from across Europe, Asia and Africa and a significant number of EAL learners too. It’s so important that these children can see themselves reflected, for their wellbeing and sense of self-confidence. The platform is becoming more and more diverse and is constantly being updated.”

“We use Espresso across every year group, in every subject. The video clips and games are great for starters or plenaries. It is good to know there will always be an activity, a game or a song linked to the area you are teaching.”
Supporting learning beyond the classroom
“The home learning aspect of Espresso is very useful. Our pupils are very active in accessing Espresso at home and seem to enjoy using it alongside their class topics to supplement learning.”
Supporting a leading digital school
“Teachers really value the timely nature of the Espresso content, which responds to current news, trends in culture and national and international events.”
Supporting teachers and pupils to use technology
“Discovery Education Espresso contains a lot of lesson ideas. If there is a particular topic you are covering, Espresso is a very good place to start. There are resources which act as a stimulus at the start of the lesson or whole activities, ideas and sequences that you can follow.”

“I’ve used Espresso for many years and have been delighted to see how it can support teaching in a bilingual environment. Espresso has a translate function, which makes it easy for us to switch between two languages.”
