Abstract


Throughout the past school year, in the context of the LUCID research project, four teachers in Prince Rupert, BC, sought to provide their students with imaginative learning experiences across the curriculum. We will share scenes and interviews from this exciting phase of the project, including the perspectives of the learners themselves (spread across Grades 4-7), their parents, and their teachers. We will end with some thoughts on what we learned about imaginative education in the course of the year, including what might be needed to implement it on a broader scale.
