School of the 21st Century: About Mutt-i-grees Curriculum

School of the 21st Century: About Mutt-i-grees Curriculum: "The Mutt-i-grees® Curriculum is a new, innovative program that builds on children’s affinity for animals and highlights the unique characteristics and desirability of Mutt-i-grees®, or shelter pets. The goal of the Mutt-i-grees® Curriculum is to enable children to grow up to be calm, confident, and caring.

The Mutt-i-grees® Curriculum is more than an educational curriculum. It sets in motion the fundamentals needed to help transform the classroom and school climate, enhance teacher-student interactions, and engage parents and the community. The inclusion of real-life scenarios and dog-related activities captivates students, educators, and parents and promotes reflection and compassion.

The Mutt-i-grees® Curriculum was developed by North Shore Animal League America/The Pet Savers Foundation, in collaboration with Yale University’s School of the 21st Century, and is funded by The Millan Foundation. "
