Effective Teaching Tools for Better Student Engagement
The planning tools, templates and provocations K-2 educators need for deeper student engagement.
The Curiosity Toolkit gives K–2 educators a complete planning framework for building curiosity-driven units — with your existing curriculum, your existing content, starting with your very next unit. (FYI you get 40% off this Toolkit when your purchase the Curiosity Without Chaos mini course)
Watch: a full walkthrough of everything inside the Curiosity Toolkit — tools, templates, bonuses, and how to use them.
Instant download. Use immediately. Works with any K–2 theme or curriculum.
Children don't switch off because of who they are. They switch off because nothing in the lesson has sparked their curiosity.
You plan the unit.
You deliver the content.
Some children engage — most go through the motions.
You know they're capable of more.
You just haven't found the structure to unlock it yet.
What you can expect
BEFORE
Let's say, you plan a unit on Living Things. You find some worksheets. You deliver the content. A few children engage — the rest wait for it to be over. The curriculum outcomes get ticked. But nothing really happened.
AFTER
You open the same unit with a Mystery Bag full of natural objects. Children are immediately asking questions you didn't expect. You anchor it with a picture book that sparks a real discussion. Children move through provocation stations — sorting, building, mapping — and by the end of the week several are still talking about it at home. The curriculum outcomes are met. But something else happened too: they learned that wondering, is what learning feels like.
That's not a different learning environment. That's the same environment, with a different framework. The Curiosity Toolkit is that framework.

What are people saying
-
"Edwina's lesson plans are so well thought out and simple to follow. I love that she focuses on hands on learning and uses alternatives to worksheets. I also love how all the curriculum is linked so I don't have to think about it as a homeschool mum. I highly recommend Edwina and her curiosity approach to leaning for children. Her many years in teaching is evident in her lesson plans and I think she is invaluable to home education moving forward and a wealth of knowledge."
— Natalie Rees (Home Educator)

"Edwina delivers very professional units of work that anyone from the most experienced, to the at home parent can deliver to their children with confidence and ease, knowing that their little learner will be engaged and covering the Australian curriculum content. I will definitely be purchasing more of these units and look forward to many more lessons to do with my children at home, and in the classroom."
— Nadia Bosco (Classroom Educator)

"I found Edwina's lesson plan for The Tiger Who Came to Tea to be an invaluable resource to support my classroom teaching. Everything I needed was at my fingertips. I loved the inquiry-based learning underpinning the activities, the clear links to the curriculum and the integration across multiple subject areas. The worksheets were attractive and the suggested activities were highly engaging for my students. I found them easy to prepare and set up utilising resources that I already had on hand. I throughly recommend Edwina's lesson plans for any educator wanted to inject some more zest into their teaching."
— Danielle Roberts (Classroom Educator)
Who is this for?
This toolkit is right for you if:
• You teach K–2 — in a classroom or at home
• You want more than worksheets and tick-boxes, but you're not sure exactly where to start
• You don't want to scrap your curriculum — you want to teach it differently
• You believe your students are capable of more than they're currently showing you
Who is this NOT for?
If you're looking for complete done-for-you lesson plans that require no planning of your own, the Integrated Picture Book Lesson Plans are a better fit. This toolkit is a planning framework, not a script.
