Kids Teaching Kids
Kids Teaching Kids is a school based Learning model and Program of events that inspires young people to learn and care for their environment.
Kids Teaching Kids uses local environmental issues as a theme for learning.
The Kids Teaching Kids Learning Model uses peer teaching and learning pedagogy – teachers become facilitators and students are empowered to take responsibility for their own learning.
Through the education techniques in the Kids Teaching Kids Learning Model, students learn with their head, heart and hand. In other words, students are encouraged into thinking, feeling and developing practical ways to respond to the challenges facing our environment.
