Published in September 2009, Kieran Egan’s latest book—The Future of Education: Reimagining the school from the ground up—is an attempt to show how both traditionalist and progressivist forms of education have let us down. The second half of the book is a “history” of education from 2010 to 2060, showing how we might realistically, practical step by practical step, remake the schools to better reflect the ideals of Imaginative Education.

We welcome Dr. Qing-yu Pan who will be with us for six months as a Visiting Scholar. He comes from Shandong Normal University, Jinan, China.

We are putting the final finishing touches to our new “Introduction to Imaginative Education: Resource materials.”

The happy-to-graduate group who recently successfully completed our first on-line M.Ed. in Imaginative Education.

You may have noticed that we have added two further language sections to this web site.

The large project connected with ADHD students in Romania is developing very successfully. Dr. Stefan Popenici and Dr. Nadia Tarnoveanu have recently conducted training workshops for teachers in the cities of Brasov, Constanta, and Piatra Neamt.

You might want to take a look at our latest brief video on YouTube or on TeacherTube. It involves a discussion of the Learning In Depth project, with Tannis Calder, Kieran Egan, and Don McCleod.

The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council's International Opportunities Fund has granted IERG $60,000 to continue its work with centres in other countries. The project is to focus on development of teacher education materials and programs in various countries so that they can better implement Imaginative Educational methods.
