Based on McREL International's research and experience, this white paper suggests that student curiosity is a powerful driver of student success and engagement. The most powerful changes that can be made within schools must come from the inside out, from the natural curiosity and intrinsic motivation that everyone shares to experience the joy of learning, discovery, and improvement. This paper provides a guide for school leadership teams to create learning environments that unleash student curiosity. After looking at how to commit to shared values, moral purpose, and vision, the paper focuses on five phases of program development: (1) Create hopeful urgency (What is the school doing right, and what must be done better?); (2) Focus on teaching and learning (How can the team help people transform professional practice?); (3) Support professional learning and collaboration (How can participants change together?); (4) Develop consistent, deep practice (How can the team help others with the difficulties of change?); and (5) Build a purposeful community (How is the culture of inquiry developing?).
