Have you ever experienced a lesson where storytelling was the modality used to deliver the content? If yes, have you ever wondered how you might be able to craft your own lesson using this pedagogical tool? This hands-on workshop will allow you to work through the how and why of using storytelling pedagogy in your own teaching practice. Starting with an overview of the historical and cultural roots of storytelling circles, digital stories, and discipline-specific narratives, this workshop explores how we can ethically and responsibly use storytelling pedagogy to deepen student understanding, foster belonging, and help complex ideas resonate in the classroom.

By the end of this session you will be able to identify key characteristics of storytelling pedagogy, practice storytelling techniques in different learning contexts (using case studies), and apply strategies in your own teaching context.
