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.) |

Corbett School, long associated with IERG, has just been named by Newsweek Magazine as #5 among 27,000 public schools across the U.S. This is Corbett's 3rd consecutive year in the top 100, and 2nd year in the top ten. This is an amazing achievement, as demonstrated by the fact that no other Oregon school has ever made the top 300. Outstanding! The 2010 Newsweek list is out. Corbett School is ranked 5th. in the U.S. Corbett is the only neighborhood school in the top 10, and one of a very few in the top 100. You may read the story at www.newsweek.com. Congratulations to the teachers and administrative staff of the school. It may be of interest to note that the average economically disadvantaged rate for the other 11 Oregon schools is 21%. Corbett’s was 22%. The average Equity and Excellence Index (based on the percentage of Seniors passing AP exams with scores of 3 or better) of the other Oregon schools was 36. Corbett’s E and E was 73.9. Oregon’s second highest individual school E and E Index was Lake Oswego, at 53.2. IERG continues its close relationship with Corbett.
