Finding Inspiration in Inquiry-based Learning

How to make a real difference in the lives of children you teach. As we come to the close of 2023, I encourage you to start pondering how you as an educator truly impacted the lives of children in your care. And what about you? Did you grow? Are you just going do the same things next year as you did this past year? Or are you going to challenge yourself this coming year to try something a little different, to take a bit of risk, to have a go and get a little uncomfortable? We cannot grow or learn without some discomfort. We all know how challenging learning something new can be, but also how rewarding it is. And so for next year I invite you to join me in embracing a new challenge. Let’s not be so hung up about sticking to curriculum programs, but let’s focus on the strategy like inquiry, that really excites children and gives them ownership over their learning. Inquiry is such an exciting way for kids to learn. Let’s focus on bringing joy to our student’s lives and to our own. Let’s embrace strategies that give us a break and make teaching and the facilitation of learning fun for us too. The challenge for the rest of the holidays is for you and me just to ponder and wonder and think about how we want to make a difference in the lives of the kids we teach? How do we want to impact their learning and curiosity? And how do we also want to make a difference in our own lives as educators.🔗 Links:Learn more: Top inspirational resources for early childhood educators🆓 Download the FREE e-guide How to Nurture Natural Curiosity HEREGet started with Inquiry-Based Learning with Inquiry 101Integrate Inquiry, questioning, critical thinking and problem solving into your existing lessons with the Curiosity Toolkit✍️ Sign up to Get Curious, the inspirational weekly newsletter for curious parents and educators HERE💌Connect with Edwina:Email: [email protected]: https://www.instagram.com/blooming_curious/Website: https://www.bloomingcurious.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bloomingcuriousYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@edsbloomingcurious☕️ If you like my work and want to encourage me to keep going you can do so by Buying me a Coffee.
