As any good teacher knows, the methods of instruction and the range of material covered are matters of small importance as compared with the success in arousing the natural curiosity of the students and stimulating their interest in exploring on their own. What the student learns passively will be quickly forgotten. What students discover for themselves when their natural curiosity and creative impulses are aroused not only will be remembered but will be the basis for further exploration and inquiry and perhaps significant intellectual contributions. -- Noam Chomsky

Philosophy For Children (P4C) Links


New Zealand P4C

A very nice site.

Montclair State University

Where it all began.

International Council of Philosophical Inquiry with Children

Has links to various international P4C sites.

University of Hawaii, Philosophy in the Schools Project

I have listed this one for sentimental reasons. Unfortunately, it has not been updated in some time, and the links are mostly broken. But it does have a really cute picture. Hopefully it will be re-invigorated sometime soon.

A Norwegian approach

Has a list of links with descriptions.

Finally, here is a list of relevant books
