“Why do students need stories? Stories are universal and transcend boundaries across time, place, and cultures. A good story draws students in by engaging their fundamental humanity, and sparking curiosity about what it means to love, to create, to learn, and to participate in the world.”
“Today, as our education systems become a mirror of our complex world, with increasing and sometimes contradictory rules and policies, stories can provide simple access to the essential material of life and learning.”
