Among many reasons, humans create stories to make meaning of lived experiences. How individuals tell and hear stories is diverse, and the narrative process is varied and diverse. The sharing and recording of the individuals' narratives can catalyze empowerment and reveal mutual strengths and vulnerabilities. By shaping common ground through subjective points of view and then connecting data to those voices, teachers and students can better contextualize learning and more deeply engage with local and global issues and ideas. Jon Catherwood-Ginn and Holly Larson Lesko will offer context and methods for using storytelling in the classroom to develop community, engage students, foster peer learning and teaching, and support reflexive practice.

Presenters: Jon Catherwood-Ginn and Holly Larson Lesko
