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.</em><em><br/> </em>--Lyn Sharratt "University of Toronto, Canada"<br><br><em>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.</em></p> <em><br/> </em>--Jay Westover<br><br><p><em>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!</em></p> <em><br/> </em>--Pete Hall<br><br><em>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.</em>--Harvey Silver, Education Coach and Consultant<br><br><p><em>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.</em></p>--Robert J. Marzano<br>
