Why talk about curiosity?  Because...we are all born curious!  You can see it the most when you watch your little ones as they are explore the world around them.  Isn’t that the best thing to watch?  I'm sure you have seen your child get so excited and curious about something they have discovered.  When your child is curious about something there is nothing that will stop them from learning about it.  Unfortunately, we do a really good job of killing our kids love of learning, exploring and curiosity as they get older. So how do we foster a lifelong love of learning and curiosity? Enter The Curiosity Blueprint!  My guest, Mike Alpert who is the lead instructor of the Curiosity Blueprint, which is a flexible framework that empowers students to explore their own curiosity.  As a former teacher and administrator, Mike wanted to create something to help parents help their kids learn and to help foster lifelong curiosity. Mike’s Curiosity Blueprint works as a compliment to your kids learning as it teaches kids conduct research and create a project that will interest and educate their audience…so you don’t have to be the one teaching them how to do this (high five parents!!).   It also fosters curiosity by taking your child  on a self-directed journey that can fill their downtime with healthy, exciting inquiry.  (in other words, so they aren’t mindlessly on a screen) In this episode, Mike talks about why curiosity is important at all stages of life.  We also talk about the need curiosity in  ur parenting because judgement, and criticism can't exist when we ask questions and get curious! Check out the notes below on how to get 20% off your copy of the Curiosity Blueprint ($49.00 before discount) or how to apply for a free copy through their scholarship program.    About Mike Alpert As the lead instructor of The Curiosity Blueprint, Mike Alpert believes in empowering parents, educators, and administrators so they can more freely empower the next generation. Mike is the founder of Cogent Solutions, an educational consulting firm that designs professional development for teachers and administrators. Mike’s private sector experience as a project analyst for an international renewable energy firm (Iberdrola Renewables) and as a financial services specialist (employee credit union of Intel and Microsoft) led him to realize the importance of education across all fields. Mike earned his MBA at Portland State University, with focused coursework in finance and innovation management. Over the next decade, Mike took his expertise to the classroom and front office, where he worked as a teacher before becoming an administrator. Mike is a Crystal Apple Award Winning educator, and has worked in both small, rural districts and large, suburban districts in the Portland metro area, even serving overseas as a teacher and Central Administrator in Prague, Czech Republic. Mike is a founding board member of Ex Novo Brewing Co., the world’s first non-profit brewery, and on his “off days” (a little educator joke) you can find him training for his next half-marathon or at home with his wife and their son.
