NDIS

NDIS Teens Talk Program Plan

The NDIS Teens Talk Program is a student-led conference where students independently organize an event focused on parenting from a teen's perspective. The program aims to provide a platform for students to share their insights and experiences, fostering a collaborative and empowering environment. The conference will have a specific theme each year, guiding students in their research and presentation topics. Students will conduct research, prepare presentations, and showcase their work in front of parents and the COGNIA team. The conference will include networking opportunities, evaluations, and recognition for outstanding presentations. Students will document their work and reflections, and the program will continuously improve based on feedback.

Success Indicators

Increased Self-Confidence

One of the success indicators of the NDIS Teens Talk Program is the increase in students' self-confidence. Through the process of independently organizing the conference and presenting their work, students will gain confidence in their abilities to research, prepare presentations, and communicate effectively.

Increased Parent Involvement

Another success indicator is the increased involvement of parents. By showcasing their work in front of parents, students will encourage parental engagement and create opportunities for meaningful discussions and collaborations between parents and students.

Positive Feedback and Evaluation

Success can also be measured by the feedback and evaluations received from both the audience and the COGNIA team. Positive feedback and constructive criticism will indicate the effectiveness of the presentations and the impact of the program on the audience.

Networking Opportunities

The success of the program can be measured by the number of networking opportunities created for students. If students are able to connect with professionals, experts, and other attendees, it indicates that the program has successfully provided valuable networking opportunities.

Documentation and Reflection

The success of the program can be measured by the quality and depth of the documentation and reflections provided by the students. If students are able to effectively document their research, preparation process, and reflections, it indicates that they have gained a deeper understanding of the topic and have been able to critically reflect on their experiences.

Continuous Improvement

The success of the program can also be measured by the continuous improvement of the conference based on feedback and lessons learned. If the program is able to evolve and improve each year, it indicates that it is responsive to the needs and expectations of the students and the community.
