imagination in the course of a teacher education program could facilitate that profound
transformation that many teacher educators seek: the discovery of a vocation in both
inner and outer worlds simultaneously. That is, attending to imagination may both aid the
process of personal reflection and help students come to a deeper understanding of
pedagogy and curriculum
