International Schools
Storytelling in an international school helps enrich the feeling of community. Programs can vary from one day of assemblies to a whole week’s residency. Over the space of several days, I can offer:
- assemblies
- single class sessions on storytelling or writing
- teacher and parent storytelling workshops
- evening program for parents or families
- feedback on short manuscripts from a limited number of dedicated young writers
- model classroom sessions teaching storytelling
- drop-in sessions where young tellers and writers can come to ask questions
I can arrange for my books to be sold, if you’d like. And I’m a very flexible guest, happy to stay with a family to keep your costs down.
Assemblies are usually blends of favorite multicultural tales, stories in sign language, Asian tales with props, family stories, and original tales. Workshops are geared to help teachers follow up on storytelling and writing ideas. I can adjust programs for varying skills of English and have various materials for the diverse student bodies of international schools.
For further details about assembly and workshop programs, see Performances and Workshops. For other themes popular outside the U.S. or in T.E.S.O.L. settings, see Outside U.S. ; to learn more about my background, please see Bio.
