  • What people are saying about Imaginative Education

    It’s great stuff! I was exposed to it through the article in Educational Leadership and I am now reading the book. It makes so much sense! Thank you for your great work! Dave Bell (Texas)

    When I started to use IE several years ago now, that I tried it out in a few lessons here and there, was amazed at the success and then began to look for other areas and subjects in which I could use the Lesson Planning Frameworks and other aspects of the theory. Pamela Hagen.

    I am just back home after a great pro-day and still reeling from all that I learned from your workshop. Pamela Walker (Victoria, B.C.)

    I've been having a great deal of success with IE in the classroom. I taught grade 5 last year using IE-based concepts and had a GREAT year. I'm teaching kindergarten this year and using the concepts again - so far so fabulous! Mary Mulleady, (Teacher, Surrey.)

    His primary purpose as a (pre-) post-doc is to help build relationships between IERG and its key communities (general public, government, administrators, teacher educators, and teachers) in order to increase awareness, encourage people to get involved, raise funds, and increase the implementation of IE by teachers.  To further this objective, he is working on a variety of projects ranging from finalizing “A Brief Guide to Imaginative Education” to working on a video series that will effectively tell the story of IE.  Also, this term, he is the Instructor for Education 823, the first course in the online Master of Education degree program in Imagination and Education.  His own research explores the potential overlap between IE and various theories of intelligence.
