The Mutt-i-grees® Curriculum merges two complementary fields: social-emotional learning (SEL) — with its emphasis on empathy, resiliency, and self-awareness — and humane education, which nourishes compassion for self and others. The Curriculum focuses on five fundamental SEL themes: Achieving Awareness, Finding Feelings, Encouraging Empathy, Cultivating Cooperation, and Dealing with Decisions.

Versatile and fun, the Curriculum and its supplemental materials  are effective in classrooms, afterschool programs, libraries, homes, and other settings.

Schools

With versions designed for grades Pre-K through high school, the Curriculum provides lessons, activities, and objectives that promote academic success, cooperation, social responsibility, and compassion. Each lesson has a dual focus on children and shelter animals.

Libraries

Whether in a school or in the community, today’s multi-faceted library is a hub for exploration, education, and literacy of all kinds, making it the perfect environment for the Mutt-i-grees initiative. We developed a special binder  – Mutt-i-grees in the Library, which may be used in public libraries and children’s museum.  Librarians praise the program’s ability to reinforce a wide range of skills crucial to developing a lifelong love of learning.
