imaginED is a blog designed and run by CIRCE scholar Dr. Gillian Judson. It is designed to support and enable imagination-focused teaching in all contexts, from formal to alternative learning contexts, and from primary school through higher education. Imagination-focused teaching applies to all educational settings (the traditional “classroom”, alternative learning environments, the homeschool etc.), and to all subject areas. On imaginED you will find practical ways to centralize imagination and emotion in your teaching: cross-curricular teaching resources, general ideas and insights, comic relief, and practical strategies for teaching a broad range of subject areas.
Dr. Gillian Judson is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University. She teaches within Educational Leadership and Curriculum and Instruction programs at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Her research examines the role of imagination in leadership, imagination’s role in learning (K-post-secondary), imaginative and ecological teaching practices (PreK through post-secondary), and imaginative assessment in the post-secondary context.
