asked questions
1.
What kinds of teachers can use the program?
Classroom teachers, reading specialists, ESE teachers, counselors,
music teachers, drama teachers, after-school program administrators,
character education teachers, youth mentors and parents are
all able to use the Principle Woods materials. The curriculum
is easily implemented, clear and precise.
2.
Why is the program so integrated?
The more integrated the program, the more effective the program.
Educators suffer a lack of free time; therefore, we have created
a program that allows them to tackle character education,
reading, writing and critical thinking simultaneously.
3.
How many principles are there in the Grand Oak and Seedling
series?
Nine principles will be addressed in the series. We have found
that, though there are many, principles in addition to these
nine, they begin to overlap in theme.
4.
What Grand Oak and Seedling principle will be published next?
Fairness.
5.
Some of your characters have strong personalities, why is
this?
The fact is, many children have strong personalities and reading
about characters that reflect their same traits is reassuring
and interesting. Through the characters’ different personality
traits—good, naughty and somewhere in between—conflicts
and problems are resolved and a lesson is learned. Good examples
and non-examples are carefully woven into each story to strike
the same balance children face in their world daily.
6.
Is your curriculum divided into different levels?
Yes, Principle Woods has created three levels of curriculum.
Acorn is designed for grades PreK - 1, Seedling is design
for grades 2-3 and Grand Oak is designed for grades 4 - 5.
