Far from being content to while away his retirement years, Gold Coast grandfather and psychologist Dr Charles Margerison has developed a curriculum-aligned program that is designed to inspire children to explore the world by following a virtual band around the globe and adopting a ‘can do’ attitude.
Aimed at children between the ages of six and twelve years, the program was recently “road tested” by children from Little Scholars who gave it rave reviews.The children are regular visitors at Odyssey Lifestyle Care Communities where Dr Margerison lives, and the residents are always happy to see them, Odyssey Founder and CEO Phil Usher shared.
Known as the Can Do Kids Band, Dr Margerison hopes the initiative will help students learn about countries, cultures and communities.
“Our resource allows students to step outside the classroom into a virtual world where their natural born curiosity around travel can begin,” he continued.
“We inspire students with the ‘can do’ spirit that is essential for success and can be embedded into classrooms around the world to promote online learning and teach kids to embrace new experiences and pursue opportunities.”
As students follow the band around the world they gain an understanding and appreciation of the factual, social and cultural aspects of a country.
Dr Margerison is the founder of Amazing People Worldwide and Amazing People Schools and has written a wide range of books on business and educational issues.
