For many children much of the time their experience in classrooms can be rather dull, and yet the world the school is supposed to initiate children into is full of wonder. This book offers a rich understanding of the nature and roles of wonder in general and provides multiple suggestions for to how to revive wonder in adults (teachers and curriculum makers) and how to keep it alive in children. Its aim is to show that adequate education needs to take seriously the task of evoking wonder about the content of the curriculum and to show how this can routinely be done in everyday classrooms. The authors do not wax flowery; they present strong arguments based on either research or precisely described experience, and demonstrate how this argument can be seen to work itself out in daily practice. The emphasis is not on ways of evoking wonder that might require virtuoso teaching, but rather on how wonder can be evoked about the everyday features of the math or science or social studies curriculum in regular classrooms.

Students’ imaginations are often considered as something that might be engaged after the hard work of learning has been done. Countering such beliefs, Egan and Judson show that the imagination—one of the great workhorses of learning—can be used to make all learning and all teaching more effective.Through techniques that any teacher can learn and easily apply in any classroom, they demonstrate how and why imagination can be used across the curriculum and grade levels to make teaching and learning more interesting, engaging, and pleasurable for all. Teachers who use these techniques will discover the emotions, images, stories, metaphors, sense of wonder, heroic narratives, and other cognitive tools that can bring life and energy to their classroom. This practical handbook will help teachers learn how to use these enlivening techniques in their daily practice to stimulate students’ intellectual activity and growth.

This comprehensive book provides a theoretical understanding of how imagination contributes to effective leadership, as well as practical tools all educational leaders can employ to cultivate their imaginations and the imaginations of others in their communities. To support these goals, book chapters offer multiple perspectives on what imagination is, why it is essential for educational leaders, and how it can be developed. Contributions by leadership scholars and school-based leaders are organized around three themes: exploring possibilities, poetics of memory, and imagination's role in social justice and equity. Each section opens with a leadership story that shows how a school leader developed and used imagination to create solutions to real problems. Contributors to this volume were invited to read each other's work and share their questions and thoughts. This work can now be used by individuals or within formal or informal learning communities to expand, deepen and, apply concepts. Expanding on Kieran Egan's theory of Imaginative Education, this book will help current and future leaders employ imagination to make sense of and address the day-to-day challenges they encounter.Book Features:Brings together empirical and conceptual research on imagination's varied roles in educational leadership.Provides practical strategies and implementable techniques for cultivating leadership imagination.Demonstrates what cognitive tools all leaders can use to deepen their understanding of issues; to emotionally and imaginatively engage their school communities; and to support equity, diversity, and inclusion.Offers easy-to-use activities and guidelines for applying imagination to key leadership processes and practices.Includes Cultivating Curiosity, Conversation, and Imagination sections at the end of chapters to stimulate individual reflection and collaborative discussion.

Ecological education is becoming a major area of interest worldwide, and schools are increasingly being called upon to address global and local ecological concerns. Unfortunately, most teachers have limited or no training in the knowledge and skills required to support their students’ sense of connection to the natural world. Moreover, they have been trained to teach in ways that often marginalize the imagination in learning. This book illustrates how imagination and the development of ecological understanding are closely connected. It offers teachers a practical guide to teaching in ecological and imaginative ways – needed support to establishing more ecologically-oriented education in all classrooms. As imagination takes a central position in schools, all teaching and learning can improve as a result.

Engaging Imagination in Ecological Education illustrates how to connect students to the natural world and encourage them to care about a more sustainable, ecologically secure planet. Cultivating ecological understanding can be more challenging for teachers than simply imparting knowledge of ecological issues; it requires reimagining the human world as part of, not apart from, nature.Describing the key principles of an approach to teaching called Imaginative Ecological Education (IEE), this book offers a practical guide for all teachers (K–12). It is designed for use with any curriculum to give students opportunities to engage their bodies, emotions, and imaginations in the world around them, thereby making learning meaningful.

¿Cómo hacemos que el conocimiento que enseñamos sea significativo? ¿De qué sirve la información en Internet si no tenemos una manera de recordarla? Si queremos resolver este problema, o al menos tener la oportunidad de enfrentarnos a él, necesitamos re-imaginar la enseñanza y el aprendizaje en términos de significación emocional. Queremos educar a los estudiantes para que sean buenos pensadores; queremos que tengan las habilidades de pensamiento crítico, creativo y de colaboración necesarias para navegar por el mundo de alta tecnología, multicultural y multimodal. Al final del día, el buen pensamiento -el tipo de habilidades que describimos como "habilidades del siglo XXI" - requiere un uso rico y flexible de la imaginación.Kieran Egan nos ofrece una nueva comprensión de cómo el conocimiento se desarrolla en la mente, y cómo nuestra imaginación trabaja y se transforma a lo largo de nuestras vidas. Los autores de Educación Imaginativa nos aproximan al pensamiento de Kieran Egan, un instrumento para dar a conocer su nuevo enfoque en el campo de la educación que enlaza de manera efectiva las emociones, imaginación e intelecto tanto de alumnos como de maestros. El lector encontrará aquí las principales aportaciones que el Grupo de Investigación en Educación Imaginativa (Imaginative Education Research Group, IERG) ha desarrollado: métodos de enseñanza innovadores basados en teorías, principios y prácticas que ofrecen nuevas formas de planificación y de enseñanza.
