  • 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.)

    Learning in Depth on CBC Radio

    last modified 2009-10-13 10:50

    Linda Holmes, a teacher in Langley, B.C. and a graduate of the IERG M.Ed. program, has been implementing the LiD program in her classroom. The experiment was the subject of a report on the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. National News on Friday11th. Sept. 2009.

    The brief news report runs for only about 4 minutes. It includes an interview with a parent and a student, and discusses how Linda Holmes came to appreciate what initially seemed a slight crazy idea. Kieran Egan also appears in the interview, discussing one or two features of the idea very briefly.

    We are finding that many schools—in Canada, the US, Australia, Japan, and England, so far––are interested in exploring and implementing LiD. To the left is a moment from a workshop where we introduced the principles of LiD and recommended procedures for putting it into action. We will be involved with a number of schools during the 2009/10 academic year planning for implementations in Sept. 2010, as described in the Learning in Depth Resource materials news item on our Home page.
