In June I attended a four-day training designed for creating a course for our new honors program. The book required for this course is noted below. If you are not familiar with Parker Palmer's writings, you may want to check out his thoughtful and powerful writings and books.
The Heart of Higher Education: A Call to Renewal by Parker J. Palmer, Arthur Zajonc,
Megan Scribner and Mark Nepo (July, 2010)
During our first day of training, we discussed the
above text, and one of the key themes that I am still thinking about is how do
we foster imagination in the courses we teach. How do we help our students sustain the practice of fostering their imagination even after they complete the course, and even after they graduate.
This concept of how to foster imagination has stayed with me throughout
this summer. As I considered how and what ways we can do this - foster
imagination - I came across many interesting items. The below TED
presentation is one of these that I found.
