Encouraging Passion
This thesis project explores educators' views of children's curiosity and aims to demonstrate the importance the trait of curiosity can have on children's learning. The current study consisted of two, 2-hour workshops for early childhood educators with two different audiences. In Study 1, 20 first-semester Early Childhood Education graduate students were provided with the workshop on curiosity in young children while in Study 2, 16 community college students participated. Results indicated that the majority of participants (41% of Study 1- Graduate Students, and 30% of Study 2- Community College students) discovered the importance of curiosity and the ways to promote it with young children in the classroom.

Following the groundbreaking work of researchers like Peter Gray and thought-leaders like Richard Louv, the book offers justification for the de-institutionalization of learning and a roadmap for how to create engaging, inspiring, and exciting experiences to nurture curiosity for children of all ages.
Natural Curiosity
Natural Curiosity is a warm and contemplative insight into one family's experience of moving from mainstream schooling to home education, and learning through the lens of nature and natural history. Since becoming 'unschooled', the two children have thrived on a diet of self-directed play and learning, amassing life skills, confidence, responsibility, and a vast array of knowledge along the way. This thoughtful book touches upon important themes in education and environmentalism, such as children's rights in schooling, the use and place of technology in learning, and the absence of the natural world in mainstream education. It gives a considered, balanced view of home schooling, interspersed with entertaining tales including constructing life-sized mammoth skeletons and living for a day as historically accurate Vikings. It offers an understanding of how this type of education works and what inspires the choice to pursue it.
