[Springboard] Imaginal education notes

Well, Larry, your email actually jogged my memory and a conversation with Judy, and, lo and behold, out on the back porch, under the counter behind where we store the plastic Easter eggs, notes from the 1969-1971 version of the Imaginal Education Colloquy.  When I get back in town at the end of the week, I will scan some stuff.

Yes, Bill, the educated (person) conversation is there as well.

Does anyone have a soft copy of the "old" imaginal education focused on teachers you would be willing to send me? I have several "new" versions focused on facilitators and image change.

I am getting ready to work with the teachers of a school destroyed by the Earthquake in SiChuan Province China.  The school has been rebuilt and the teachers want to retool themselves so I need to re-calibrate myself a bit.

With respect, Larry

This is closer, I especially remember the child question.  It may be that I am recalling a modification that joe slicker made

Go around who is someone you would name who you would say is an educated person?  Go around again, who else would you name?  Who have we left out?
Read back the list.  What about any of these people (qualities, behaviors, attributes) had you describe them as an educated person?  What else?
If you were going to design a program to develop an educated person, what would you include?  Suppose you had a young child, no limits in terms of budget, what would you include?  Read the list back, what else ?

Then, I think there was a discontinuous question, like, thinking back over our conversation, what questions or issues has it raised for you?

Jim, our earliest notes from the West Side have something like this:
 
1.  What have been the most exciting events of the past century? past decade?  past year?
2.  What do we need to know to live in the midst of the world we have on our hands?
3.  How would you go about training someone to live in today's world?
4.  I've got a six-week old child.  He/she wants to be educated for today's world.  What does he need to know to live in this world?  What would an adequate curriculum/program look like for him from now until he is 16 years old?
 
(A later - in the mid-1970s and in a 1981 Imaginal Ed. manual - adds a 5th series of questions):
5.  If I say he needs to be prime minister, what would you add (to the curriculum)?  What else is required?
 
I hope this is accurate,
 
Bill

Wow.  Interesting, never saw this before .  . . I think my recollection goes back to the one put together around 1969
