Living stories
Designing story-based educational experiences
Knowledge is composed of stories — primarily the stories we experience, and much less the stories we are told. We have difficulty remembering what others tell us, but schools are designed to teach by telling. Story Centered Curricula place learners in stories that mirror the real life world of working professionals, enabling them to learn through experience, and to remember the stories they have lived.
