Imperative Narratives is a guidebook for all educators on how to become a more effective teacher, staff member, or administrator. It covers every aspect of storytelling, including how to choose the stories you tell, various methods and modalities for delivering those stories, and the tricks to becoming a master storyteller.
Mike Tveten has got it right! Stories engage people emotionally in the idea, concept, or content the speaker is communicating! In short, stories literally "light up" and activate more regions of the brain than when content is delivered as an informational lecture. It is a part of the secret sauce that moves us toward becoming a captivating educator that touches the lives of our students.
