Join Dr. Kevin Cordi, Associate Professor of Teacher Education and 2024 Rising Star Teacher, for an engaging workshop that uncovers the hidden truths about story and storytelling. In this dynamic workshop, we’ll challenge common misconceptions about how stories work for the student and the instructor and for our lives. Many of us possess a fragmented understanding of narrative; here, we’ll fill in the gaps together.

This workshop offers practical techniques to enhance your storytelling skills in your classes, leading to increased student engagement and learning. We’ll explore innovative methods for creating meaningful connections through story—whether for building community, creating curriculum, or effective communication in various contexts. With insights drawn from recent research and over 25 years of experience in the field, we’ll help you reshape your narrative approach to teaching and learning. You’ll walk away equipped to transform those “narrative fragments” into powerful, cohesive stories and understand how story works so it resonates in your classroom and everyday life. Perhaps story is the glue that keeps the curriculum together.

Come ready to discover the inherent power of storytelling and unlock new directions in your personal and professional journey!
