SUPERKIDS
Education, empathy, empowerment.
SUPERKIDS is an educational program that seeks to spread education, awareness, empathy, kindness and understanding. This program is designed to help teachers and parents educate kids and teenagers about brain tumours and how the brain works.
SUPERKIDS has three parts:
Education
Free downloadable lesson plans with a variety of topics for kindergarten to Grade 12.
Feedback and Classroom Package
Collaboration is one of Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada’s core values and we value your feedback. As you download and incorporate the lesson plan into practice, we would love to hear from you and learn from your experiences. In return we will send you a SUPERKIDS package to your classroom with some surprises.
Are you a parent? Feel free to download lesson plans for your kids and teenagers to do at home and provide feedback to receive a thank you package in the mail.
