Recenzii
This
is
an
important
book.
Although
many
authors
have
written
about
curiosity
as
a
powerful
tool
in
the
learning
process,
none,
to
my
knowledge,
have
approached
the
topic
with
the
clarity
provided
by
Bryan
Goodwin.
Much
more
than
a
collection
of
instructional
strategies,
this
book
lays
out
a
vision
as
to
the
way
schools
can
and
should
be
approached
to
stimulate
curiosity
as
a
natural
part
of
the
teaching/learning
process.
This intriguing read is thought-provoking, relevant and practical all at once. Goodwin researches the strong links between creativity and longevity, creativity and student engagement, and creativity and strong instruction in the classroom. A powerful ‘must-read’ for all educators who want learning not only to be lively but also impactful and meaningful for every student.
Bryan reminds us that wonder and curiosity are natural forces in all of us that need to be rekindled in our schools if we are to make learning engaging and meaningful.
We have come to recognize that in education the key to success lies within the context of collaborative inquiry as a means for questioning, learning, and improving. Bryan Goodwin has gone beyond this general viewpoint and defined the secret ingredient for success among students, teachers, schools and organizations; curiosity. Building a Curious School provides the research, reflective activities and tools that are needed to bring curiosity to life in our schools.
With heavy doses of wit, research, and real-talk, Building a Curious School explores a rather obvious—but often untrodden—path to improvement in classrooms, schools, relationships, and even happiness. This is a book I couldn’t put down, and I’ll read it again and again!
