Every kit comes in three parts.
We know teachers don't want worksheets, colouring in sheets, word-finds or 'Design a [insert word here]' competitions. We also don't believe any professional teacher worth their salt needs a 10 page step-by-step teaching guide. But our kits are more than a box.
The Box
-
Our kits are designed to be used - each kit comes with enough contents for up to 32 students.
-
Once a teacher has confirmed their registration, kits are delivered to your school.
-
The Community
-
We call our private, online, teacher-only network The School Kit Squad. It’s here that we deliver our teacher support materials and online professional support to teach them well.
-
In here you’ll find your teacher support materials - professional readings, explainer videos, how to guides, cheat sheets and digital copies of everything you find in your hard copy kit.
-
In your dedicateh kit space you’ll find every other teacher that has registered to teach this kit. They’ll be using the space at the same time you do and experiencing similar roadblocks, having similar questions and (we hope) sharing similar successes.
The Support
-
Contact our hosts at anytime to answer kit queries, to seek teacher support or share your progress.
-
Book a zoom / call with one of our Teacher Champions here.
-
The support isn’t just online. We visit 800 schools every year giving us a chance to meet, chat, troubleshoot and celebrate with quad members in person.
Nothing lasts forever.
