In two previous articles entitled ‘The Joy of Not Knowing (JONK)’ and ‘Nurturing Creative Thinking from an Early Age’ (CTL, 2013) I described how a whole-school JONK culture and philosophy of education enables children to develop a lifelong love of learning and an intrinsic motivation for wanting to learn. These articles illustrated how the JONK approach, from a very early age, equips children with the skills and dispositions that enable them to become effective leaders of their own learning.
