ENCORE: Storytelling for Social Justice at Irondale High School
Download MP3Oprah Winfrey said, “Everybody has a story. And there is something to be learned from every experience.” Aaron Henkin and Wendel Patrick fully embrace this with the mosaic of stories that they capture hiding in plain sight on their podcast Out of the Blocks. I invite you to join me on this encore episode to hear about how this idea became a powerful learning experience for students and think about how the power of storytelling might transform your classroom.
