The Power of Storytelling in Education

Episode 117: This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I'm joined by Neil Almond and Christopher Such for an in-depth exploration of story and the privileged position it holds in the human mind, including what this means for teachers, how we can utilise it in the classroom, and the potential pitfalls to avoid. As part of the chat we discuss...

1. Dan Willingham says that stories are particularly sticky, David Didau says that story holds a privileged position. What does that actually mean?

2. How can we get the most from the use of story in our classrooms?

3. Are there any pitfalls we should avoid when trying to utilise story?

...plus much, much more.

Whether you're new to the profession or an experienced senior leader, you won't want to miss this one!
