  • 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.

    Imagination's Role in Ecological Education

    There are currently two research initiatives connecting Imaginative Education and ecological education. One initiative grows from the work of Gillian Judson, as initially described in her book  A New Approach to Ecological Education. Imaginative Ecological Education, or IEE,  is a cognitive-tools approach to teaching designed for all educators interested in making their practice more imaginative and ecological.

    A second initiative involves a whole new conception of what education could look like if one were to take ecological ideas seriously. It is funded in part by a $1-million grant from the Community-University Research Alliance of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The project aims to create, from the ground up, an educational program that is place-based, imaginative and ecological.
