Glenbard Parent Series event: Cultivating Your Student’s Curiosity
Susan Engel to speak on The Hungry Mind on April 27, 7pm at Glenbard East HS. Event is free and open to all.
The Glenbard Parent Series: (GPS) Navigating Healthy Families will present The Hungry Mind: Cultivating Your Student's Curiosity with Susan Engel on Thursday, April 27.
Children naturally possess an active interest in the world and learn best when curiosity is stimulated. How can parents and teachers support this critical 21st century skill? In this fascinating discussion, Engel will talk about what makes us curious and the influences that can encourage or stifle intellectual explorations. Participants will learn how to create environments where curiosity is nurtured and rewarded, allowing young people to learn easily and happily. Key strategies will be provided to foster curiosity so all students thrive.
Please join us at 7 p.m. April 27 at Glenbard East High School, 1014 S. Main St. in Lombard. CPDUs are available.
