Description

Curiosity Before Compliance challenges educators to rethink behavior by redesigning learning environments. She introduces the D.E.E.P. framework to replace control with engagement, access, and purpose. When curiosity leads, students regulate, connect, and thrive—proving that meaningful learning begins not with compliance, but with environments that invite it.
