The National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) is starting a new #prinleaderchat every Sunday at 9:00 pm EST. We will be starting this Sunday October 2. Our schedule is listed on this google spreadsheet https://goo.gl/SI9LVo.
A1: The more we spark curiosity in our schools, the more questions our students and teachers begin to ask. Curiosity breeds questions, questions breed innovation and problem finding/solving #PrinLeaderChat
A1: When Leaders can inspire Ts and Ss to invest in curiosity they are building a bridge to innovation. Schools can have a growth mindset and push to find viable options for questions,concerns,or dreams. Curiosity didn't kill the cat, it empowered achievement

My Intellectual Curiosity page https://t.co/vgcsLBqpqQ Children start school filled with curiosity & excitement. It is up to us as their parents, teachers & administrators to keep it going.
Model not being afraid to try new things.
Listen attentively to #stuvoice#PrinLeaderChat
A1: Such a great question! Sparking curiosity among our students and staff builds interest and engagement. The more #studentagency for students (and staff), the higher their interest, engagement, and performance. #PrinLeaderChat

Totally a gateway process. For instance, provide a student with a picture zoomed in and slowly zoom out while seeing what questions they ask, hooks them into the process right away #PrinLeaderChat

A2: Ts can incorporate questioning, prompts, and discussion to sharpen Ss ability to critically think and problem solve. Practicing these skills can improve curiosity.
#PrinLeaderChat
A2: A great teaching strategy to use with students and Ts is hexagonal thinking. Provide different paths and connections, get questions flowing, and curiosity begins to evolve. #PrinLeaderChat
A2: Strategies that allow students to pursue their passion. (#geniushour). Methods that encourage risktaking and embrace learning from failure. Having a growth mindset can change the climate of your classroom. #PrinLeaderChat
A2. My favorite is the higher order questioning and I see that @jwilliamson713 agrees! I love debate groups where HS or college students help elementary aged children learn this valuable skill. #prinleaderchat
A2: Anytime a teacher is able to challenge students to discover a solution to a problem - innovation, inquiry, higher order questioning. #PrinLeaderChat
A1: Sparking curiosity in schools encourages risk-taking and growth. If students and staff are not curious then you will usually get the same results you have always gotten. Curiosity can push you beyond the status quo. Embrace curiosity. Push thinking. #PrinLeaderChat
One of my favorite things in elementary school was the rotation of the art and museum pieces that would come to my classroom. When I wasn't engaged I would sit and wonder about them - the artist or the history behind them. #prinleaderchat
A3: Questions come from students. They forge their own learning paths VS the teacher forging it for them. The teaching becomes the coach. #PrinLeaderChat
A3: Teacher led inquiry helps guide students to learning. Student led inquiry has students pursuing their own learning. Seeing different forms of questions, from different places, helps drive learning from all directions. #prinleaderchat
A3: Teacher led is a topic or idea chosen by the teacher, while student led is a topic or idea chosen by the student. Teacher led is important to model, but student led is necessary to spark and peak curiosity in students. #PrinLeaderChat
Ts should model inquiry as a metod to cultivate Ss ability to add this skill to their academic toolkit. Incorporating this concept through sound instructional practices with guided practice opportunities for Ss.
#PrinLeaderChat
Both are vitally important to the learning environment. Teacher led inquiry gets students started & guides students to their own curiosity. Student led inquiry is where meaningful learning takes place! Ss are invested and empowered. #StudentVoice#StudentAgency#PrinLeaderChat
a4: The best ways to create safe environments are to understand our Ss and Ts passions from the beginning of the year, include those in questions and projects. Also enable Ss to feel empowered to explore.....ANYTHING #PrinLeaderChat
A4: Build a culture where taking risks is valued, where the first answer isn't always no, where you celebrate the successes and innovations! Sometimes success isn't exactly the way we planned but a risk to celebrate, regroup, and try again! #PrinLeaderChat
A4: The number one way to build a safe environment for students and teachers is by building positive relationships between you and the students and between the students in your classroom. #PrinLeaderChat
A4:Establish positive relationships with students built on trust, respect, honesty and empathy.Create an atmosphere were learning is encouraged,supported, reflected on,celebrated.When students feel comfortable taking risks then their curiosity will be set on fire. #PrinLeaderChat
A4: As leaders we must encourage Ts and Ss to take risk. In order to do that, we must take risk and be willing to show vulnerability to failure without fear or hesitation. This culture of risktaking strengthens the confidence to practice curiosity.
