Episode 59: Education as Storytelling

Written By Noah Brink

The best teachers are storytellers. Students need stories; it's how they best connect with the things they're learning. It's part of the reason why Jesus often chose to teach through stories. As a result, teachers need to see themselves as storytellers, and work to get better at seeing their task specifically through the lens of telling stories.

Host Noah Brink discusses the importance of storytelling through focussing on its ability to connect with that which is uniquely human in our students.
