TEACHERS TELL THEIR STORIES

Share your story

To celebrate National Storytelling Week (30 January to 6 February), we asked teachers in Scotland to tell us about the good, the bad and the downright ugly of teaching. We’ll show a different story every day, starting from Monday, so check back all next week for true tales from the classroom! Tell yours using the form here. +

Read other teachers stories: Maria, James, Nadia, Annabell, Shelly

About National Story Telling Week:
The annual National Storytelling Week began in 2000, organised by the Society for Storytelling: "The Society for Storytelling was set up to promote the oldest art form in the world. Storytelling is at the root of every art form: we think in story form, make sense of our world in narrative - from something we’ve seen - from last night’s television, to what family and folk stories we remember and retell. Performance storytelling can be a powerful experience, both entertaining and moving. Story is also the traditional medium of communication from generation to generation, a tool for education and therapy. The deaf community carry their stories in the palm of their hands and write them in the air. For visually impaired people, storytelling is a natural accessible medium that stimulates all the senses of the imagination."

Teacher Support Scotland will be taking part in National Storytelling Week with different stories from teachers. Are you a teacher with a story to share? Please do so in the form below:
