Discover Texas is more than a name.

Discovery is a whole way of learning.

 Research proves that students remember:

  • only 10% of what they read
  • 20% of what they hear
  • 30% of what they see (pictures and other visual images)
  • and just 50% of passive presentations (a movie, exhibit, or demonstration).

So why does most “schooling” rely on such ineffective methods?

When learning is ACTIVE–when students

  • see
  • hear
  • touch
  • taste
  • smell
  • discuss
  • share
  • participate
  • experience

…in short, when they discover knowledge for themselves, retention jumps to 70%-90%!

Discover Texas is all about helping students discover for themselves what’s meaningful and memorable about Texas history…and having fun in the process!
