Twinkl, the global educational publisher with a mission ‘to help those who teach’, has announced a groundbreaking collaboration with Disney, unveiling the largest digital collection of teacher-created Disney educational resources for Australian educators.
This unique collaboration combines the magic of Disney storytelling with Twinkl’s trusted content to create engaging educational resources that are designed to support and enhance teaching in all educational settings.
Launching with beloved titles including Disney’s Lilo & Stitch and Frozen, the collection will also feature favourites such as Disney’s Encanto, The Lion King, Moana, Zootopia and Disney Pixar Cars. Every resource is crafted by Twinkl’s team of experienced teachers and specialists to meet a wide range of curriculum-aligned learning needs and to help keep students engaged.
Research has shown that using character-based educational resources can help improve children’s focus and have a positive impact on behaviour. This has been demonstrated in improved learning and assessment outcomes. Evidence also supports a positive relationship between the use of character-based resources in students who receive special education services.
“We are thrilled to be able to combine the world of Disney and educational resources for both school and home environments, helping to create even more compelling and engaging learning experiences,” said Jonathan Seaton, CEO and co-founder of Twinkl.
“With research showing that there is better engagement and improved learning outcomes when students use themed content, this collaboration can deliver real impact across all educational settings. This project has been years in the making – I’m incredibly proud of our team, the wonderful people at The Walt Disney Company, and, most of all, the educators who shaped and brought these materials to life. Early feedback has been fantastic and I can’t wait to see the creative ways they’re used in classrooms across Australia.”
The new collection enriches the student experience with engaging, representative content that supports a wide range of learners. Covering English language and literacy, the arts, maths, science and social studies –plus social-emotional learning and special education – the resources are designed to reflect real-world experiences and meet the needs of every student.
