Using Storytelling to Break the Silence that Binds Us to Sameness in Our Schools
Caruthers, Loyce
Journal of Negro Education, v75 n4 p661 Fall 2006
Storytelling has developed as an extremely efficient staff development strategy employed to break the silence that surrounds the cultural differences in schools by portraying such differences as important elements of teaching and learning. The author suggests that various ways that pursue people to confront their ideas and assumptions, reveal feelings and build common ground about certain issues should be used to bring about the desired changes in the system.
