DWoK is a multi-year professional development program for K-8 teachers, administrators, and other stakeholders that provides an integrated approach to curriculum, instruction, assessment and reporting. Recognizing that every child has talent and that children learn by doing, the DWoK approach provides clear and flexible guidelines for learner-centered classroom practice that develops literacy through children's multiple intelligences. Interdisciplinary teaching strategies are used to link social studies and history themes with mathematics, science, and the literary, visual, performing, and media arts. The Galef Institute has developed instruction and assessment tools for teachers including curriculum planning guides, a classroom resource library of student literature and reference books, study prints and transparencies, video and audio tapes, software, and assessment resources.
