Our focus for this event will be on educational practices that come to the fore once one takes the imagination seriously as a major learning tool. We invite practitioners and scholars, and those who are both, to bring their expertise and reflection about imaginative education to building a richer and more effective conception of education. What will help students understand and retain more of what they learn
in school? How can teachers shape the classroom experience to include
children from all backgrounds? How can socially relevant topics such as
media education, environmental sustainability, diversity and
citizenship be woven into the core curriculum? Can assessment be used
to help students learn and teachers teach, in addition to meeting
accountability goals? These are some of the central concerns of teachers, school, and
districts across B.C. and further afield. They are also key themes in
the work of SFU's Centre for Imaginative Education. Rather than
treating imagination as an interesting but unnecessary add-on, the CIE
has been pursuing the idea that it may be essential to helping
educators achieve their goals. A growing, worldwide community of
researchers and practitioners agrees.
