This book is an ideal professional development resource. It makes it so much easier for teachers to design and deliver instruction that actually inspires students. It also helps teachers take a fresh look at their subject matter, no matter how new or expert they are.

Tools for Igniting Curiosity reminds me of why we became educators. Each tool helps create a learning culture that makes students more eager to learn. Using these same tools in staff meetings has amped up quality engagement there, too.
