Ep 17 Curiosity is Declining in the Classroom – What to do About it

Episode Description

Curiosity and Inquiry series: In early childhood that drive to explore, question, and play is curiosity! Curiosity forms the cornerstone of all learning and discovery. And that initial interest and curiosity, naturally leads to inquiry. It’s a perfectly natural transition. If curiosity is so innate in all of us, why are we losing it? In this episode I explore some of the reasons for the decline in children’s curiosity and offer 9 strategies to nurture curiosity so that that spark that we are all born with is not extinguished.  For all the links in this episode go to https://bloomingcurious.com/curiosity-is-declining-in-the-classroom-what-to-do-about-it/
