In this book, award-wining educator Kieran Egan shows how we can transform the experience of schooling in K 12 classrooms and help students become more knowledgeable and more creative in their thinking. A child's journey through school begins when they are not yet literate and ends when they are capable of complex, abstract thinking.
Praise for an imaginative approach to teaching
"As we come to expect from Kieran Egan, this book is imaginative, engaging, wise, and practical. A terrific resource for teachers at every level."
-Nel Noddings, author, Happiness and Education and Lee Jacks Professor of Education Emerita, Stanford University
"Kieran Egan's work on imagination and learning has addressed our needs as teachers to foster more creative thinking within our classrooms. Tapping into this creative energy has added a whole new level of fascination, not to mention fulfillment, to our 'middle years' teaching. We encourage all educators to use the book to put this unbelievable theory into practice in the near future!"
-Anne-Marie Dooner, Peter Obendoerfer, Nicole Marie Kerbrat, and Principal Verland Hicks, middle school educators, Ecole Leila North Community School, Winnipeg, Manitoba
