ABSTRACT
This chapter is based on the assumption that schooling can be strategically managed to influence teacher and student experience of wonder. Imagination has been central to my work as an educational leader in schools, universities and businesses – across classrooms and boardrooms. It is through children’s capacity to wonder and imagine that creative and innovative cultures result. It is equally true in the school as it is for businesses and corporations. Over the years, I have encouraged entire school communities, not just the teachers, to strategically introduce contexts and questions where aspects of wonder such as speculation, curiosity and sometimes doubt, would evoke and inspire the students to analyse, improvise and drive their quest for knowledge and understanding.
