To enable other parents and classroom teachers to use movies in the same way we have arranged films suitable for educational use by topic in The Cultural Heritage Index . We have also written a Learning Guide to each film we recommend. Most Guides can be read in about ten minutes. TWM contains Guides to more than 180 films. Over the next few years we expect to increase this number to 400.
Most good movies explore moral and social questions.
Each Learning Guide will list these themes and will suggest ways to open relevant discussions that will enhance a child's developing character. See The Character Development Index . TWM can help you enlist parents as active participants in their children's education. At orientation evenings or in individual conferences explain the benefits in improved education and increased shared experiences of employing the TWM approach. Point out to parents that the films you are recommending are popular feature length films that they themselves will find entertaining and which they can integrate into their own leisure time.
