Professional Development - Story Corps

Educational researchers have recently focused their attention on the vital role of social/emotional learning in schools. Deliberately building empathy into our instructional routines to develop and maintain safe environments for learning. Story Corps recently developed resources for teachers/educators to meet this goal. Great listening opportunities for classrooms/students and springboards for discussions and/or projects. 
  • Discover the power of their own voice and know that their experiences and stories matter
  • Learn about the power and importance of listening
  • Gain empathy and understanding for people who are different from themselves
  • Find strength in stories of people like themselves who succeeded despite personal challenges and social barriers.
