| Abstract: | The article focuses on the vital role of teacher-led inquiry in overcoming the constraints of standardized curricula and fostering a more engaging educational experience for students. Topics include the utilization of "Me Museums" to build relational trust among staff, the design of curiosity-driven lessons such as building kites to teach geometry, and the impact of a yearlong challenge aimed at countering social polarization through personal exploration. |
