Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In curious classrooms, student-driven inquiry deeply engages kids in curriculum by connecting it to explorations of their amazing questions. Smokey Daniels supports this kind of well-planned and organized teaching nationwide, and he gets these two questions most often: Where do I find the time? What are some simple steps I can try with my kids? The Curious Classroom answers these questions. Its ladder of 10 inquiry structures gradually leads from briefly modeling your own curiosity to a unit driven by kids' questions." --Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth edition of this well-known text continues the mission of its predecessors âe" to help teachers link creativity research and theory to the everyday activities of classroom teaching. Part I (chs 1-5) includes information on models and theories of creativity, characteristics of creative people, and talent development. Part II (chapters 6-10) includes strategies explicitly designed to teach creative thinking, to weave creative thinking into content area instruction, and to organize basic classroom activities (grouping, lesson planning, assessment, motivation and classroom organization) in ways that support studentsâe(tm) creativity. Changes in this Edition: Improved Organization -- This edition has been reorganized from 8 to 10 chapters allowing the presentation of theoretical material in clearer, more manageable chunks. New Material âe" In addition to general updating, there are more examples involving middle and secondary school teaching, more examples linking creativity to technology, new information on the misdiagnosis of creative students as ADHD, and more material on cross-cultural concepts of creativity, collaborative creativity, and linking creativity to state standards. Pedagogy & Design âe" Chapter-opening vignettes, within-chapter reflection questions and activities, sample lesson ideas from real teachers, and end-of-chapter journaling activities help readers adapt content to their own teaching situations. Also, a larger trim makes the layout more open and appealing and a single end-of-book reference section makes referencing easier. Targeted specifically to educators (but useful to others), this book is suitable for any course that deals wholly or partly with creativity in teaching, teaching the gifted and talented, or teaching thinking and problem solving. Such courses are variously found in departments of special education, early childhood education, curriculum and instruction, or educational psychology.

Book excerpt: "As educators, we all wish for our students to become more self-motivated and to show a greater passion for learning. But how can we turn this universal wish into classroom reality? How can we help our students develop that "yearning for learning" that spurs discovery and promotes deep understanding? By tapping into the most basic and powerful learning drive of all-curiosity.

(3) Inspire students to express and pursue their own natural curiosity. Designed for teachers of all grade levels and content areas, the book provides everything you'll need to get your students fired up about learning"--
