Professional Programs
The Centerpiece:
Use your storytelling festival as the centerpiece
for your character building education program or whatever it is that you
decide the focus of your curriculum needs to be. Advanced preparation
by teachers and masterfully presented stories by professionals provide
mental models of character behaviors, both positive and negative, that
supply springboards for teacher/student and parent/child discussions.
Utilize the skills of professional storytellers from
diverse cultures, national
storyteller directory, and geographic regions to assist the educators
in your region to "build a vision through campus programs, staff development
opportunities, and community concerts. Donald Davis, Storyteller, says,
"We achieve what we dream about. If we can build students’ dreams, we
can change what they achieve. Storytelling allows us to open up their
vistas to a worldview."
