Imaginal Education Collection

MR ORID at the University of Aruba from Jan Sanders

Francois wanted to take away the toy that Mathias was playing with, but Mathias would not let the toy go. Francois got mad and kicked Mathias in his belly. Mathias got scared, cried from the pain and told the teacher on Francois.

When students are sent to the principal because of their misbehavior, Mr. ORID takes charge of the conversation and guides the students (ORID facilitation method) to reflect and solve their social-emotional difficulties.

At the end Francois learned that he has to wait for his turn or ask if he can play with the toy instead of the way he reacted. Mathias learned that he has to say ‘No’ and not to stay quiet but was praised for notifying the teacher.

The Principle, Mr. Gino Vrolijk is learning imaginal education practices in the post-secondary certificate program called Education Leadership for Collaboration offered by the University of Aruba and taught by Jan Sanders, Robertson Work, Skye Burn and Doug Banner.
