But students are curious and can take more control of their own learning.    This volume presents approaches to eliciting students' natural curiosities through journals, questioning frames, critical thinking challenges, visits to museums and long term curricular projects with authentic assessments. It challenges existing school cultures and presents models of leadership and professional development. Includes self and organizational assessment protocols and extensive website references.)
