We are delighted to announce the publication of Dr. Qingyu Pan’s new book about Imaginative Education. The book is titled IMAGINATIVE TEACHING; its first printing is 5,000 copies. This comes close on the heels of Dr. Pan’s recent article in the Chinese journal Educational Research, which also describes IE and what it offers to Chinese education.

Dr. Qingyu Pan is teaching about IERG in various classes and programs. He is finding both a surprised reaction from most of those he presents the ideas to and deep interest and “excitement.” We are also printing thousands of copies of the Chinese version of the Brief Guide to Imaginative Education for widespread distribution.

This version was translated by Dr. Pan and Ms. Lili Ge, one of our Master of Education students who has recently successfully completed her degree.

Our strategy is to distribute the Guides through the many Education bookstores in the country, concentrating initially in Shandong province. We will then aim to make presentations at conferences, distributing more of the Guides at these events. A number will be targeted at particular faculty members in Chinese Normal Universities who are likely to be sympathetic to IERG ideas. We hope that the new book and article in addition to the Brief Guides will stimulate more interest in IE in China.

Any Chinese teacher or faculty member who would like one or more copies of the Guide should contact Dr. Pan at: panqingyu007@sina.com.
