“Never mistake knowledge for wisdom.One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life."

Sandra Carey

Wisdom through wonder means staying curious, searching for understanding, and using what we learn to make thoughtful choices. 

Some ways students can show this:

• Ask meaningful questions instead of accepting the first answer.

• Listen carefully to other people’s ideas.

• Investigate before forming an opinion.

• Use evidence to explain their thinking.

• Admit when they do not know something.

• Learn from mistakes and try a new approach.

• Notice patterns and make connections.

• Consider different points of view.

• Reflect on how new learning changes their thinking.

• Use what they learn to make responsible choices.
