Train
We provide teachers with tools and vocabulary to bring the power of Story-Based Learning into their classrooms and schools.
Story-Based Learning is an innovative, kinesthetic curricular platform with a primary objective of bringing the academic lessons from the student’s brains to their hearts using their bodies. This approach is designed to simultaneously teach the academic lesson while also addressing the multiple socio-emotional needs of students; student’s feelings are essential partners to their thinking. Students gain agency in their learning process by engaging fully in community building, conflict management, and identity exploration.
