Ep 19 How Educators Can Nurture Their Own Curiosity

Episode Description

Curiosity and Inquiry series: It’s sad but true that curiosity is on the decline, not just among children, but among adults too. If we are to raise and educate children to be the problem solvers and innovators of tomorrow, then we simply must maintain and nurture our own curiosity, in order to be able to nurture it in the children we teach.

In this episode I explore some of the reasons for this decline in our curiosity and what we can do to keep nurturing our own curiosity.
