Praise for Cultivating Curiosity “Curiosity is the most important word in education today. Teachers the world over long for ways to cultivate this elusive yet essential path to engagement and authentic learning. Over a brilliant, pathbreaking career, Doreen Nelson has developed and refined an innovative methodology that nourishes curiosity, stimulates creativity, and scaffolds critical thinking.” —MARCELO OROZCO, CHANCELLOR, University of Massachusetts, Boston “Doreen Nelson has put pen to paper to share her innovative instructional Method of Design-Based Learning, in this brilliantly written and engaging book. Nelson has given us the gift of understanding how education can inspire students to learn and teachers to teach by igniting the curiosity in both. I can think of no more relevant or important methodology for teaching today.” —CHRISTINA (TINA) CHRISTIE, WASSERMAN DEAN & PROFESSOR, UCLA School of Education & Information Studies “Cultivating Curiosity: Teaching and Learning Reimagined offers hope to anyone interested in the connections between our fragile democracy and schooling. Educators at any grade level, parents and policymakers alike, will find this design-based learning methodology a way to integrate disciplines and reflect on governance structures in thoughtful and fun-filled ways.” —GEORGIA ANN LAZO, ED.D, PRINCIPAL, UCLA Lab School, Los Angeles, CA “For five years, in cooperation with the Japan UNICEF Association, we used The Doreen Nelson Method of Design-Based Learning at the Sendai City Shichigo Elementary School as a comprehensive learning template for reconstruction. We have continued implementing the methodology thereafter, and more than 1,200 children have experienced its power. This book will significantly impact many of our teachers and their students.” —DR. SHINYA SATO, PROFESSOR, Yamagata University
