The Mount Wachusett Community College Early Childhood Education department is pleased to announce a two-evening workshop featuring internationally acclaimed, award-winning storyteller and author Len Cabral.
The workshops will focus on methods and techniques that Cabral has found effective in more than thirty-seven years as a professional storyteller. Using stories that he often shares with children from ages three to twelve, he provides concrete examples of these techniques. In this workshop he discusses the value of participation, the importance of repetition and provides tips on how to lengthen the attention span of children.
This workshop offers ideas and methods to encourage the most reluctant student to speak and write his or her own stories. Teachers and caregivers that take this workshop will leave with stories to tell and the confidence to tell them.
Jonie Latimer-Brady, Director of the ECE Career Pathways notes, “We want to make sure our teachers enter the field with the tools they need to be successful and with an understanding of the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion. For these reasons, we offer workshops that will help educators develop a global outlook and a sense of social justice.”
This two-evening storytelling workshop will be held on March 24 and 31, from 6:30 – 7:30 PM. Registration for both evenings is recommended.
