Student Leadership and Digital Citizenship

Ice Breaker!

•  Describe what student leaders do in your school!

The Pedagogical Model


The Model: Kids Teaching Kids Pedagogy!

•  http://www.kidsteachingkids.com.au/kids-teaching-kids/learning-model.html!

The Kids Teaching Kids Learning Model is unique. It is inspired by the Learning Pyramid* that shows students might only retain 5% of knowledge through lecture and other traditional learning styles. In contrast, students retain for more - up to 90% - through teaching others.!

At the heart of Kids Teaching Kids Learning Model is a belief that peer education is one of the most effective ways to encourage students to take responsibility for their learning and actions.!
