Communication is the crux of the teaching/learning process for all people. Without proper communication, the learning experience is sorely diminished into a relay of information, instead of a meaningful exchange of ideas between two mutually interested and invested parties. This book provides educators with the means to analyze, develop, and facilitate their communication behaviors and interactions with students, parents, and colleagues. By combining both theory and practical advice, this book focuses on the importance of communication strategies and the means to implement them in a classroom setting. It covers a wide range of classroom communication issues, including interpersonal and small-group communication, listening skills, verbal and non-verbal communication, storytelling, and more. Review of the most current and major research in the fields of both education and communication shows readers how research findings can have a practical influence. Educators, parents, and anyone involved in a classroom setting or learning environment during their professional or personal life.

The Power of Story: Teaching Through Storytelling

Rives Collins

Studying & Workbooks

Storytelling plays a central role in empowering educators and learners to synthesize and verbalize personal experiences, communicate feelings, and construct meaning, all of which are processes vital to effective learning. The opening chapters of The Power of Story address the question, "Why should I tell stories?" The next five chapters provide guidelines and ideas for how one actually tells a story. The final chapter provides dozens of useful storytelling activities for classroom use, all of which emphasize the fun of storytelling. Future educators can use these activities as a starting point for their own teaching; all can be easily adapted to specific grade levels and situations. The second edition includes profiles of storytellers of all ages, a chapter on the growing genre of family stories, and numerous print and nonprint resources. The richness of this practical guidebook comes from the authors' own personal experience in storytelling, in teaching storytelling, and in using storytelling in their teaching.
