Curiosity drives the impulse to learn – and our Curiosity and powerful learning model shows school teams how to systemically develop and support curious learners and create an effective, sustainable learning system supported by students, staff and school leaders. Based on a successful school improvement effort in Melbourne, these manuals are designed to help teachers, instructional coaches, school leaders and system administrators embark on a professional journey to lift student literacy, numeracy and curiosity. Written originally for Australian educators, the theories of action and recommended activities outline practices that have been tested and refined in schools over time and can be adapted and used by schools and districts around the world.

The three manuals at the core of the series – The system and powerful learning, Curiosity and powerful learning, and Leadership for powerful learning – together explain how powerful learning is made real for our students through purposeful, specific changes in whole school culture, classroom culture, leadership and teaching practice. The manuals advance the notion of 'precision without prescription' – helping educators increase their knowledge and abilities regarding effective teaching strategies and allowing them to thoughtfully apply these skills as professionals, rather than prescribing a specific instructional model and mandating that it be followed step-by-step in every classroom.

The series also includes three sequential Models of practice manuals, which explore in depth six instructional strategies that get to the heart of the learning experience.

Based on the fundamental understanding that schools differ – and must differ – when responding to their communities, the Curiosity and powerful learning series supports the idea that diversity among schools is as much a cause for celebration as is consistently high student learning outcomes in all schools. Each manual emphasises the collective endeavour essential to achieving curiosity-driven powerful learning: teachers working together; students becoming more adept at using curiosity as a learning resource; and leaders communicating purpose and direction. Working together on this journey, everyone monitors outcomes and adapts. Everyone becomes a professional learner.
