Description
Unleash the power of curiosity and the joy of learning! Curiosity is hardwired in all of us, but the longer students stay in school, the less curious they become. Why is that? Grounded in research, this engaging book uncovers the ways in which formal education seems to hinder our natural curiosity and shows educators how to intentionally cultivate inquisitiveness and wonder in schools. It includes · Activities, ideas, and tips to encourage curiosity · Compelling examples of curiosity at work in schools, businesses, and communities · Tools for supporting curiosity in ways that spark meaningful conversations and promote empathy, equity, and social-emotional learning
