This book proposes that we can transform the experience of schooling -- and help students become more knowledgeable and more creative in their thinking -- by developing teachers' and students' imaginations. To accomplish this, the imaginative educators must value and build upon the way a child understands his or her experiences, rather than always focusing on the "adult" way of understading as the measure of learning. Egan sees the journey to adulthood as a journey through five zones which represent an evolution of ways to organize experience --
This book explains how people's imaginations work in these different zones and also provides clearly articulated principles for practice that will make learning experiences of all children in all schools more interesting, meaningful, and imaginatively engaging.
