Curiosity is an essential skill for creative success and a trait that gifted students possess in abundance, but a typical classroom often leaves little space for students' questions. While inquisitive children have long been warned that “curiosity killed the cat”, it is precisely that level of incessant wonderment and investigation that fuels creativity and innovation. Together we will explore practical ways for easily integrating student curiosity into daily lessons. You will be provided with a Pandora’s box of intriguing puzzlements to ignite students’ interests and strategies to help propel them towards creative productivity.

leading us down new paths.

lost forever the
child who lived
in him and who
he will miss
terribly.
