Keynote 4: Re-inspiring Wonder: Bringing deep curiosity back to schools
In a rapidly changing world, the ability to ask questions, think critically, and learn independently is paramount. Yet, are our schools truly equipped to cultivate deep curiosity, or just focused on delivering curriculum? How do we move beyond simply teaching what to think, to fostering how to think?
This practical keynote tackles this crucial gap head-on. Drawing on equal parts research, social psychology, and philosophy, I provide educators and parents alike with actionable tools and fresh perspectives to actively nurture inquisitive minds in and out of the classroom.
Educators and parents will leave with:
-
A clear understanding of why fostering curiosity is critical for future-readiness.
-
Practical strategies to integrate curiosity-building into daily teaching.
-
Techniques to boost student engagement and intrinsic motivation.
-
Confidence in developing students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Ideal for: School Principals, Educational Leaders, Curriculum Coordinators, Teachers (Primary & Secondary), Teacher Training Programs.
