What does it take to encourage curiosity and how do we keep those young minds curious? This is what we unpack in this episode just in time for back to school! Classrooms and lesson plans are being prepared 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.
