When we follow our curiosity as teachers and learners, we engage in an ongoing investigation that is rich and full of surprises! As we foster an approach that is led by curiosity, we promote our students’ self-sufficiency and agency. In this CL, I will share how I encourage experiential learning through inquiry, as inspired by my teacher, Marj Barstow.

This approach allows us to guide learning without imposition, drawing from the basic skills of improvisation when teaching in person, online, one-on-one and in groups. The work will be highly experiential: together we will prioritize growing curiosity within the framework of AT principles.
