  • What people are saying about Imaginative Education

    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.

    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.)

    Imagination Education For Everyone!

    One of the main organizers of the conference is Kristin Lems, a certified "friend of IERG," whom many of you may remember from her wonderful songs at our July conference three years ago.Online registration and information about all of the workshops and artistic performances can be found here: www.nl.edu/imagine. The conference is always a lively affair, with a variety of papers and performances. It has a quite different but delightfully complementary feel to IERG’s own July conference. (Also, you might want to begin to plan for IERG's conference in Dec. 2009 on the island of Rhodes, organized in association with the University of the Aegean.)

    The Chicago Imagination Conference is an invitation to unleash our imaginative and artistic powers in the service of education and planetary survival through stories, conversations, problem-solving, drama, games, music, movement, simulations, dancing, and more…please join us!

    Friday keynote: "Children's Voices" 7 pm
A multimedia live program featuring Bill McGlynn, Director of the renowned CAST program (Communication Arts, Speech and Theatre) at Percy Julian Middle School, Oak Park, and Student Ambassadors. CAST aims to "tell stories about young people and their journeys to find themselves." Share original stories and performances and talk with the students from this model middle school integrated arts program!

    Saturday, Nov. 22, full day of activities, 8:30 - 5:30
Expect artistic performers, intense creative and interactive workshops, and assorted whole group activities. The hard part will be choosing where to be….there will be so many exciting offerings!!!
