The benefits
The Kids Teaching Kids model was created from a belief that our education systems must ensure we are building resilient, confident and creative students. This can inturn benefit local communities around Australia and ensure our environment can be sustained.
In a period of rapid changes in national school curriculum, teachers know that the Kids Teaching Kids Learning Model meets relevant state and national education standards.
The Kids Teaching Kids learning model reflects the education standards in each state and territory, which now place greater emphasis on students learning how to be good citizens, how to relate to each other, and how this can be taught in an authentic context.
The Learning Model fosters a deep understanding of local community issues and it offers students the opportunity to develop a wide range of life long learning skills including:
-
Research
-
Teamwork
-
External mentoring
-
Community engagement
Kids Teaching Kids offers an authentic end point and the environmental theme has been recognised for fostering greater connections between schools and their wider community.
Kids Teaching Kids has inspired students and schools in hundreds of local communities to take action toward a sustainable environment.
