The
Teacher’s Guides are designed
by our
Advisory Board to help students make the connection between the fictional storybook accounts and real life problems that are actually being experienced by people all over the world today. Our goal is for the children to recognize that, like the Doo-its in the story, they too can use their creativity and will-power to solve problems and make a difference in the world.
Teachers are free to utilize as many or as few of the 11 lessons in the teachers guide as they wish. The activities are structured to fully engage the students while incorporating the standard requirements. Some of the lessons require the students to get out of their chairs and participate in hands-on kinaesthetic learning activities. Other lessons involve reading and writing or quiet reflection and seat work.

Dewey’s Teacher’s Kits incorporate core &
McRel Standards and are taught against a backdrop of social consciousness. Each lesson includes a clear explanation of the lesson’s objectives followed by the designation of the core curriculum requirements.
The McRel Standards, (Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning,) serve both to clarify and to provide a common set of educational expectations. McRel Standards combine standards documents from professional subject-area organizations and selected state standards.
Dewey’s Teacher’s Kits include Core & McRel standards against the backdrop of social consciousness. Learn more at www.McRel.org.
