Wild Curiosity offers remarkable insight into what truly motivates us all to learn. Shonstrom's writing merges prominent research in this field with intellectual and witty insight into the nuances of curiosity, motivation, and learning. This book encourages us to reasonably question the institutional structures and practices of schooling that shape our society. It beckons us to remember what we most likely knew at one point in our lives: that it is inevitable that we will at some point follow our own untamed curiosities and that perhaps we should embrace a more natural way of learning--one that values wonderment, awe, experience, ambiguity, and desire., Through the lens of wondrous curiosity, Erik Shonstrom challenges teachers to revisit the soul and art of teaching. Wild Curiosity is a timely anchor in the shifting tides of standards-based, data-driven public education. It made me laugh, cry, and deeply reflect upon my practices and vision as a 21st Century educator striving to make a meaningful difference., Wonder and awe: these are things that teachers and parents know lead to creating lifelong learners. Using examples drawn from modern neuroscience and research in psychology, author Erik Shonstrom offers insight and tidbits of wisdom for inspiring curiosity in children. In his book WildCuriosity: How to Unleash Creativityand Encourage Lifelong Wondering, he argues that by celebrating spontaneity of the unexpected we can expose children to a world of learning beyond the textbooks and classroom walls. Drawing on the works of experts such as Ivan Illich and Richard Louv, the author calls on the reader to awaken the natural curiosity of young minds., Wild Curiosity is a convincing and insightful treatise on what needs to change in education if we hope to nurture children's hungry minds and inspire lifelong learners and searchers., Wild Curiosity is a convincing and insightful treatise on what needs to change in education if we hope to nurture children's hungry minds and inspire lifelong learners and searchers. , Through the lens of wondrous curiosity, Erik Shonstrom challenges teachers to revisit the soul and art of teaching.

The book arrived so fast, was better than its advertisement, had the best price of all including shipping, and was delivered by the post office, which I prefer. I will use this book seller again. The seller rated the book “good” but the book is pristine and like new except for a harmless square-inch scrape. I couldn’t be happier!
