Tell your side of the story

Article Abstract:

Otago Polytechnic, Dunedin, New Zealand, Staff Development Coordinator Maxine Alterio has developed a method of formalised storytelling on a one-to-one basis. It has been used in teaching practice to help students understand their actions and feelings over particular incidents. Alterio recommends listeners are not allowed to comment whilst being told the story, which is recorded. At a second meeting the story teller and listener discusses the story. Storytelling can be used for groups of people but Alterio points out the storyteller must remain the focus of the exercise.
