How do we foster within our children a love of learning -- simply for the sake of learning rather than to gain rewards? Join us as we dialogue with Central's Spanish teacher, Marcela Casco-Lee. In Episode 7, she explores ways to cultivate natural curiosity and intrinsic motivation within kids, so they grow up to be healthy, independent adults. Hear her suggestions for growing critical thinkers and lifelong learners in today's world.
