An Evening with Dr. Beverly Dietze

Understanding the curiosity cycle and how those levels may be expressed by children will be explored. This interactive presentation will engage participants in exploring ways that they may contribute to children embracing a sense of wonderment, intrigue, exploration and discovery during children’s outdoor play.
