The Bank Street Model

The Bank Street Model is an educational approach focused on hands-on, experiential learning that emphasizes student interests and active participation. It encourages students to explore subjects through projects, discussions, and real-world tasks, fostering critical thinking and creativity. The teacher acts as a facilitator, guiding discovery rather than merely delivering information. This model values curiosity and personal connection to learning, aiming to develop well-rounded, independent thinkers who understand concepts deeply through active engagement. It’s widely used in early childhood education but adaptable across various grade levels.
