Can you recall a moment when a story deeply resonated with you and made you feel seen and heard?
In today’s episode of Take Notes we are joined by Michael Katz, a professional storyteller and educator. We dive into how storytelling can make a big difference in elementary education and help with mindfulness in schools.
Michael talks about his path to becoming a storyteller and shows us how telling stories can grab our attention and help us learn. This episode is full of great ideas for anyone who wants to use storytelling in education, with tips on making stories fun and interactive for kids.
Curious to see how storytelling can transform learning? Listen in!
