A story that communicates who you are is incident based is shows a strength or vulnerability and helps others understand you better.

Self expression through story telling is social bonding

Storytellings is a natural human expression

Our job is to help support self expression through storytelling

Everything we say and do is material for the children.

If it takes 10,000 hours to be proficient that means 20-25 years of teaching.

storytelling creates a small society in elementary class

Mirror neurons are firing during storytelling.
