We can tell stories. We can facilitate learning. But how do we use stories to facilitate learning?
This session is designed to fill that void. We'll start from the beginning – mining your own life and experiences for relevant stories to tell, regardless of the topic you're teaching. Then we'll discuss how to pull from other disciplines, like literature, film, and writing, to help you select, structure and shape stories that can facilitate connections between you, your learners, and the material. You'll also learn about the characteristics of stories that are most useful for facilitating learning. Next, we'll explore delivering these stories using tips that will help you bring stories to life, reinforce your point, and ideally, encourage learners to apply your message to their own experiences. Finally, we'll address how you can help learners find and tell their own stories. You'll leave this session with templates and strategies that will help you apply what you've learned about facilitating with stories back on the job.
You will walk away with:
- Strategies for facilitating with story
- A list of methods for mining your own life and experiences for useful stories
- Tips on how to structure stories so that the intent is clear, the listeners are captivated, and the connection to the content is evident
