"The Original Imaginal Education Curriculum" might be considered a trick
question:

 

" Imaginal education is a whole-person approach to life and learning that
can be applied to any subject matter+

by Ronnie Seagren    http://www.context.org/ICLIB/IC18/Seagren.htm

 

So if you are asking about the Preschool Curriculum, that goes at least or
64/65. .  It seemed like Lela Jahn was the director.   I know Sarah Buss was
working on curriculum some of that year because I would sit for Elizabeth.
I think Nancy Loudermilk maybe Judy Fishel, were also on the weekend
curriculum writing sessions.

I think the first IMAGE was on "Educating the Imagination of Urban Youth" or
something close to it. It was known as the "Youth IMAGE." Haven't checked to
see if its on the Golden Pathways.

Here is information from The Golden Pathways CD. When I was working on the
history I got the names of people involved in the early pre-school from Nan
and Bill Grow. Another layer of research could be done for The Archives by
anyone willing to take on the project to do deeper digging by directly
contacting people involved to see what they recall. 

Jim Wiegel, perhaps you have some early pre-school stories in the interviews
you have done with folks.

A CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY, 1952-1994, of THE ECUMENICAL INSTITUTE and THE
INSTITUTE OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS.

THE YEAR BEGINNING JULY 1966 

SUMMER RESEARCH ASSEMBLY: Six weeks long. RS-1 and Imaginal Education
Pedagogy. Fifth City Preschool* curriculum created. A teachers' group met
during the summer. Participants were primarily college students, teachers
and church leaders. 

COUNCIL I: Emphasized writing to clarify context, task & basic structures of
the organization. "The Prolegomena to the Rule of the Order" was written. 

Worship was held in the jet hanger. 

5th City Preschool opened in September. It was the first 5th City structure
created as a part of the community reformulation project. It dealt directly
with the "victim image" of people living in the inner city. The first
Preschool field trip was an airplane ride over Chicago. In 1971 an
independent researcher for HEW said, "...Your preschool is one of the ten in
the nation selected by the Office of Economic Opportunity as a particularly
suitable for a demonstration project." (5th City, Rebirth of the Human City,
1973).

Teachers' Guild formed in the fall: Kay Maconathy, Pat Scott, Sarah Hewitte,
Anne Filipski, Jim Campbell, Ken Filipski, Dolores Perez, Donna McCleskey,
Marilyn Miller Oyler and Kay Ent Lush were the first participants in the
guild. 

5th City Preschool teachers 1966-97: Ruth Marshall, Rose West, Nan Grow,
Aimee Hilliard, Maryann Wainwright. (Grow, 1993.)

The first IMAGE is published. (Grow, 1993).

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough,
and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to
clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger
into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today,
and creates a vision for tomorrow.
