An emerging body of research focuses on how learning driven by student curiosity is a key factor in academic success across disciplines. A classroom that sparks and builds on student curiosity paves the way for the hard work of inquiry that requires reading, writing, and disciplinary thinking. Curiosity and imagination are also key starting points for investigations that take students beyond the walls of the classroom. This process helps students develop their personal, academic and civic voices as they imagine and convey a better future.
