Ep 41 Make Curiosity a Priority for Back to School

Episode Description

It’s back to school time and teachers are preparing classrooms and lesson plans in anticipation for that first day and all the days that follow.

Of course, ensuring that the learning space is welcoming and sparks curiosity and interest is at the forefront of every teacher’s mind, but the greatest  challenge for any teacher is how to get kids to be interested in learning, to spark their curiosity and encourage a love for learning.

That is half the battle!

What does it take to encourage curiosity and how do we keep those young minds curious?

This is what we unpack in this episode.
