🛠️ now what? (ways to begin)

You don’t have to be an expert — you just have to be curious.

This isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about showing students what it looks like to live inside a question. Wonder out loud. Be honest when you don’t know. Let awe be part of the lesson plan.

Here are some gentle ways in:

Pick a Domain
Choose one area from the list — like Time, Science, History, Myth, Ethics, Art, or Consciousness — and reflect on how it intersects with your subject or affinities. What have you always wondered about? What questions stay with you? What questions inspire your own curiosity?

Ask Your Students
Open a unit with a question like What is real? or How do we know what we know? What do you wonder about the universe? You might be surprised where it leads. Let their questions and collective curiosity shape the path.

Start a UFO Club! Just start with the kid’s authentic questions and go down the rabbithole together.

Talk to people!
Start a tiny study circle. Ask each other: What if our curriculum included the unknown? What would we teach differently? Start a conversation at the lunch table or the coffee machine, or pose a question as a warm-up at a meeting.

Stay Curious
Follow the breadcrumbs. Notice what intrigues you. When a big question shows up, write it huge on the wall. Circle back to it. Let it live. Let it breathe..
