Learning to Teach...

The Teen Teacher program is based on an experiential learning model.

  • EXPERIENCE – Plan and teach activities for younger youth in your subject area (e.g. nutrition, robotics, gardening)
  • SHARE –Share ideas with other Teen Teachers and Adult Mentors
  • PROCESS – Opportunities to reflect on what worked and what could be changed to improve the learning experience
  • GENERALIZE – Make changes to the activities as needed to support learning, keep younger youth engaged, and manage needs of different learners
  • APPLY – Cycles of teaching, reflection and revision of plans over a period of at least 6 program sessions
