I’m always recommending that teachers use storytelling as much as possible to convey important lessons. Instruction is more memorable when presented in a ’story’. Stories connect with previous learning, with emotions, and patterns in long term memory. They are an excellent way to teach. Many of us, however, don’t feel confident in our storytelling skills. Here’s a wonderful workshop presented by a colleague of mine that remedies that lack of confidence!
