Hi Steve,

 

A powerful early application was the Summer ’66 Teachers Cadre curriculum, if you can find a copy.  Many of us – Jim Campbell, Marilyn Miller Oyler, Ann Harrison Avery, Kay Ent Lush, Jeanette Marks Stanfield, Robertson Work, Gordon Harper and I  – became committed to IE and returned to our respective school situations to launch what we then called “image explosions” in our classrooms each day.  Our gifted pedagogues were Lidona Wagner (then, Donna McCleskey), Pat Scott and Sue Burdick.  Most of our cohort ended up as members of the OE.

 

A second application you might investigate is the work K. Elise Packard did with teachers in Atlanta – called the Kaleidoscope of Learning (or something like that) back in the 80s (?).

 

A third is the curriculum of the Changemasters’ Guild (1983-86-ish), launched by 5 geographically scattered permeators, and which was the precursor to and catalyst for the International Association of Facilitators.

 


A fourth are the curricula of the Student House, a complementary, residential, middle school education program, whose rather amazing and committed staff include so many whose memories and files could provide grist.  May I suggest Charles Allen Lingo, Mike May, Marie Sharp, Elise and George Packard, Dierdre Dowsett, Tim Karpoff, Teresa Lingafelter as resources.

 

A fifth are the curricula of the many EG Summer Camps that our staff developed and implemented year after year (our kids attended from age 3 – age 13).  There were comparable IE grounded summer camps offered in Australia, one of which Ann Duffy and I led in 1971.  Likely the “files” of these would be difficult to gather, but you could do interviews to learn about the conceptual frameworks.

 

And finally, the groundbreaking work on the Image Shift course, developed by K. Elise Packard et. al.

 

Hope this helps your important project.

 

Cheers,

 

Marilyn

Subject: [Oe List ...] New Chronology of Imaginal Education for a New Website

 

Looking for a little help building a fuller chronology of Imaginal Education approaches and curriculum application examples (not 1 time events)

 

Not about facilitation and planning, but about teaching imaginal learning both depth inquiry & designing/creating innovations from preschool to adult education. Three Imaginal Education Approaches

  • Seminar approach
  • Action-research project (like a PSU)
  • Simulation (like Training Inc and Machakos)    

 

 

 

Can you add some more approaches or educational curricula to the Global Archives?

 

2010s Recent Chronology of Aproaches and learning curriculum

  • John Oyler:  2010 Arizona Partners in Participation, Arizona Community Youth Resources
  • Gilles: JWM Legacy Project In 2011 Jack did a skype call at Litibu on JWM Legacy
  • Addington & Berdgall et al: Accelerate 77 Action Based Community Development Project In 2011-2 Jim Addingtion and Terry Bergdall  used a combination of depth inquiry seminars and intern action research with university class interns to build the Accelerate 77 Chicago neighborhoods project. Write up by Karen Snyder 
  • Gilles Social Process Triangle Research 2014 Jack did an action research project partially online and onsite using google documents and a google hangout.
  • Phillbrook: Social Process Triangle Applications, Taiwan
  • Weybright: Nepal School Photo-Story School Project TRC School Kathmandu and ICE School New York City
  • Wiegel: Online Book Studies: ReInventing Organizations, So Far From Home; Bengals: Buddha's Brain seminar in Boston
  • Stover: Emerging Ecology Action Research for Greensboro NC


Global Archives Imaginal Education Collection Chronology for New Website

1960s-1970s

  • Summer 65 Research Assembly  Oral history writeup David Scott. The Scotts and the Fishels were tasked by Mathews to build the 1st Summer Program in 1965 and they meet as peers and adapted the CFLC curriculum + some of the 5th City research to that task. 
  • Advanced ITI Hong Kong (no record in the Archives) where David said there was seminar inquiry but also for local church cadres in SE Asia a lot of very specific PSUs on moving local churches forward - I guess beginning with something like the Lynch gridding model. 

1980s 1990s 

  • Westside Leadership John Cock, Karen Snyder created a 1 day orientation for community leaders of ICA methods 
  • Training Inc By the 1980s both approaches were used in Training Inc for direct instruction, for doing world-of-work assignments inside a context. A 3rd imaginal education approach -simulation of a business was also developed. There were as many as 9 independent Training Inc in operation.  
  • Machakos Simulation Game Sue Wegner LaDonna Wagner developed and delivered a 4 hour board game used in Universities and USAID and ICA events to simulate local village development and replication
  • Imaginal Education Methods in 1990 OliveAnn Slotta wrote a book Seminar approach for classroom teachers, 
  • Project Based Inquiry one on the Project Based Inquiry (action-research) approach

 

Any suggestions for a more simple form to commission and or document a seminar or a project? If you have one, I'd like to write it up and include it.
