School Workshops:

Stories in the Classroom - An active, hands on workshop sharing ways to incorporate story telling in all aspects of the curriculum as well as ideas involving student tellers and their stories.

Take Heed and Read A lively, interactive collection of stories for jump-starting or re-charging reading success programs.

A Step in the WRITE Direction Storytelling with an under-current of writing ideas and helpful strategies. Great for second semester grade 3, grade 4, and grade 8, or any group concerned with improving writing skills.

Oh! I’m Telling! Students as Storytellers A 5-day classroom workshop that builds self-confidence and imparts skills students will use all their lives. (Studies show that student storytellers show measurable growth in reading and writing skills.)

HUH? How’d They Do That? A “figure it out” collection of stories that stretch imagination, sharpen memory and listening skills, and build community as students work together to “figure it out.”

Storytelling for Media Specialists This is the place it all began! Developing storytelling programs in and for the library-media center is a round peg in a round hole: a perfect fit! This action-filled workshop includes methods, resources and activities adaptable to any program or ambition.

General Workshops

Storytelling for Beginners - “I’d love to do what you do, but how do I get started?” This workshop covers it all: resources, story development, venues, stage fright, caring for your audience and more.

What’s So Funny? - Everyone loves a funny story - or a funny storyteller - or a story with funny characters - or just a good laugh. This workshop offers strategies and tips for adding humor to your story or your presentation or both. Easy as picking ticks off a bald dog - and lots more fun!

Creative Soup - Fire up the creative juices! Think outside the box (and the circle and the triangle too). Discover new ways to look at old stories, new ways to brainstorm story ideas, and resources to help you cook up something new!

Critquing - Gentle coaching for anyone in the storytelling/writing field.
