[Dialogue] Dialogue Digest, Vol 84, Issue 22

Sun Apr 24 13:23:36 CDT 2011

Just to add to the dialogue on Imaginal Education- I remember teaching the
first weekend course in Imaginal Education with David McCleskey, Rick
Loudermilk and Kay Lush.  We designed the course at the request of Joe
Mathews sister who was teaching in a school in New York.  We presented the
course to her colleagues sometime in 1968 or 69.  Then the teacher's guild
continued teaching the course around the country for the next few years with
the support of the more seasoned trainers to start with.

By 1969/71, when Faith Vance and I taught in the Infant School, under Lela
Jahn, we were given a basic framework - such as the weekly themes - but we
created the curriculum in terms of day to day lesson plans/activities.  I
don't know if any copies of it still exists. At one point, Bob and Barabar
Prather visited and filmed us teaching. That would be great to see!

It was wonderful fun to "spiral" the concepts and information down to be
communicated in the most basic, energetic, engaging ways for infants. I've
used the skill I gained in doing that over and over in my career as an
educator. 

Last May, George and I and our son, Jordan, visited the 5th City Pre-School.
It was such a thrill to hear and see some of the old songs and rituals still
being used. And, of course, the best part of all, was visiting with Ruth
Carter, who was the local presence that always kept that energy and spirit
alive. Great stuff.

Public school teachers and head start teachers built the curriculum.  David
McCleskey built the framework. Donna had a lot to do with it.  The original
Head start teachers were Aimee Hilliard, Kaye Hayes (Now Kaze Gadway), James
Addington and a young man who was with us only a year whose name I think was
Steve.  Second group included Ruth Marshall, Phyllis Christmas, Ray (18 year
old from australia who later became Joe's right hand man)and Kaye Hayes.  I
was there three years.  Why can't I remember Ray's last name?  I was with
him in  Chicago, Sydney and India.  It was first called the Life Triangles.
Sarah Buss may have first draft.

Reply-To: Colleague Dialogue <dialogue at wedgeblade.net>

I will start with question #4.  The oldest info that I have found so far in
the archives is an "article written corporately by forty-six teachers and
school administrtors meeting as n academy at the Ecumenical Institute:
Chicago, using the methods of brainstorm and gestalt designed to enable the
uses of every insight present.  This article represesnts an informed stance
toward the situation in education today. (August 1969)"

That doesn't answer your question.  But I will see what information I can
find about a "who" involved in creating curriculum.  As you know most things
were done corporately.
Then I'll see what  I can speak to your other questions.  Today I'm involved
in looking for South America HDP information.

We have so much information we haven't had time to organize yet.
Hopefully there will be some "extra" people in May - we have lots of
pre-school and lots of Fifth City - that's not yet listed  in Filemaker Pro
and we don't yet have equipment for quick scanning of material for
distribution.  We are still dreaming the impossible dream.  Marge Philbrook
