We are a group of researchers, teachers, graduate students, parents, and others who would like to make education more effective. To achieve this aim we have developed theories, principles, and practices designed to explain, describe, and exemplify our new approach to educating. This website is designed to introduce you to these theories, principles, and practical techniques. We call this new approach Imaginative Education (IE) because engaging students' imaginations in learning, and teachers' imaginations in teaching, seems to us crucial to making knowledge in the curriculum vivid and meaningful to students. Our work is dedicated to showing how this can be done routinely in everyday classrooms and at home. Previous conferences and symposia can be found at http://www.ierg.net/confs/
