What people are saying about Imaginative EducationIt’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.) |

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.
