520    "How to nurture creativity in tomorrow's innovators--
       today's college students. When asked what they want 
       colleges to emphasize most, employers didn't put science, 
       computing, math, or business management first. According 
       to AAC&U's 2013 employer survey, 95% of employers give 
       hiring preference to college graduates with skills that 
       will enable them to contribute to innovation in the 
       workplace. In Engaging Imagination: Helping Students 
       Become Creative and Reflective Thinkers, two leading 
       educators help college instructors across disciplines 
       engage students in nurturing creativity and innovation for
       success beyond the classroom. Alison James, an expert in 
       creative arts education, and Stephen D. Brookfield, 
       Distinguished University Professor of Education, outline 
       how creative exploration can extend students' reflective 
       capabilities in a purposeful way, help them understand 
       their own potential and learning more clearly, and imbue 
       students with the freedom to generate and explore new 
       questions. This book: shows why building creative skills 
       pays dividends in the classroom and in students' 
       professional lives long after graduation; offers research-
       based, classroom-tested approaches to cultivating 
       creativity and innovation in the college setting; provides
       practical tools for incorporating "play" into the college 
       curriculum; draws on recent advances in the corporate 
       sector where creative approaches have been adopted to 
       reinvigorate thinking and problem-solving processes; and 
       includes examples from a variety of disciplines and 
       settings. Engaging Imagination is for college and 
       university faculty who need to prepare students for the 
       real challenges of tomorrow's workplace"-- Provided by
