In our dynamic workshop, you will learn how to:
• Understand the Difference: Grasp the key distinctions between the stories and narratives that permeate school culture and community life.
• Identify Impacts: Recognize the dominant narratives that support stereotypes and limit progress as well as the counter narratives that can reshape our perspectives and expand our understanding.
• Build Narrative Power: Use your newfound knowledge to leverage stories' focus and power to connect people across divides in classroom, school and district-wide projects.
