This program supports educators in transforming and/or deepening their Natural Curiosity teaching practice by providing a safe online space for open conversation, community and collegial friendship. A small group (max 20 educators) will meet monthly to unpack key principles in Natural Curiosity. Coaches will loosely structure workshop sessions with ample time for group discussion, challenging participants to reconsider their pedagogical practice while sharing and learning from one another.

NC is a 100% donor-funded program – the cost of our professional learning programs directly funds planning, facilitation, pre and post conversations regarding the workshops, and administrative time including the set up of a Zoom meeting, interactive software, resources and follow-up support through an online forum.
We are providing subsidized tickets (covering $100 of the cost!) for folks who self-identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or Person of Colour (or educators that serve Indigenous students). Please email us at naturalcuriosity@utoronto.ca to access your subsidized ticket.
Certification
Participating educators will receive a certificate of completion from Natural Curiosity and the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study Laboratory School (OISE-University of Toronto).
