I have been meaning to write about these DVDs from Disney Educational Products, but I couldn’t remember what they were called. I kept searching for ‘Teacher Edition’ or ‘Educator Edition’ or ‘Education Edition.’ I finally decided to try the term ‘Classroom’ to describe it, and there it was.
On December 2 of this month, Disney Educational Products released both of Disney and Walden Media’s Chronicles of Narnia films in special Classroom Editions.
Each Disney Educational Productions Classroom Edition DVD is created to help provide you with the tools you need to engage, inform, and inspire learners of all types. In addition to our top-quality programming that spans a variety of subject areas and grade levels, all Classroom Edition DVDs include the following:
- National Content Standards Correlation
- Educator’s Guide
- Public Performance Rights

Both are a steep $49.95, but that’s because it includes a license for public display of the film, among having exclusive special features made specifically for these discs.
I would love to be able to sample these, so I can write more about them. What do you say, Disney?
