Counselor Connections
Character Focus -Curosity
Curiosity: Wanting to learn more. Showing interest, seeking novelty, and being open to new experience. Curiosity is strength of mind.
Why does curiosity matter?
Curiosity is about having an open and active mind. It’s about exploration. Not surprisingly, one of NASA’s Mars rovers is named for this strength. Curiosity puts the brain in a state that makes learning easier, more enjoyable, and longer-lasting.
What does curiosity look like?
· asking questions to deepen understanding
· eagerly anticipating a new book, movie, or episode in a series you love
· googling to learn more about things that interest you
· watching videos to learn a new skill
· discussing a topic for no other reason than that it’s interesting”
