  • 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.)

    Teaching, Learning, and Imagination at Smith College

    last modified 2008-10-29 13:26

    Smith College, Massachusetts, recently sponsored a conference on “Teaching, Learning and Imagination.” Many of the presentations were from teachers in the Smith College Campus School, where they have been experimenting with implementing IE ideas in their teaching.

    Teaching, Learning, and Imagination at Smith College

    The Smith College Campus School, located in Northampton, Massachusetts, is the laboratory school for the Department of Education and Child Study at Smith College. The school serves children from kindergarten through sixth grade, with two classes at each grade level. The Campus School is located at Gill Hall on the Smith College campus. You can read a description of the school and its aims by its principal, Cathy H. Reid here.

    Information about the conference and its aims is available here. One of the main guides to the school’s use and development of imaginative approaches to teaching is Professor Al Rudnitsky, who works in the Smith College Education and Child Study Department, and in whose study, it is reputed, Henry James slept during a visit to Smith.
