Natural Curiosity
Natural Curiosity is one of the best resources that I’ve come upon that tranfers place-based education into real, live classroom examples from a collaborative inquiry mindset. The Environmental Inquiry in Action Teacher’s Stories have a deep ring of truth about them. They capture authentic childrens’ questions and they display teachers’ genuine musings and concerns about how to create meaningful curriculum…The reader is right there is the classroom watching the learning unfold. This veracity has the potential to compel others to have the courage to also be adventurous.” - David Sobel (noted educator and author of Childhood and Nature).
This resource has been recommended to me by Learning Partners and Early Primary Teachers. I have had the opportunity to read sections of the book in PDF and try one lesson in an FDK classroom. The teacher was excited about a lesson taken directly from this resource and how well it worked to meet instructional and learning needs.
