Dear Teachers and Instructional Staff,
 
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” — Albert Einstein

Do students have multiple opportunities to question and wonder during the course of the school day? Children are naturally curious and eager to learn new things. Using NBOE curricula, we can find a multitude of ways to foster that curiosity.  In our visits to classrooms, the T and L team have observed teachers tapping into their students’ curiosity as a foundation for deeper learning.
