Overview
Public Narrative can harness the power of narrative to do the work of leadership. Learners turn what they know how to do implicitly (telling stories) into a craft they can practice explicitly (Public Narrative). This guide is designed for people who have completed a course or workshop in Public Narrative and want to learn to teach the craft to others as an instructor or coach.
Introduction
This guide was designed to scaffold your learning. It includes conceptual resources to clarify your understanding of the craft so that you can explain concepts clearly, and pedagogical resources for teaching practice of the craft. You will want to adapt these resources as you develop your own teaching practice.
Read through all materials before teaching for the first time. You can only really understand each part in the context of the whole. You may notice that some parts overlap or seem redundant. This is intentional: Learning to teach Public Narrative is as non-linear and iterative as is learning Public Narrative. You will be offered the same information in multiple ways to facilitate your own comprehensive processing of your understanding.
The guide is organized into five sections: Introduction to Public Narrative, Story of Self, Story of Us, Story of Now, and Linked Narrative. Within each section you’ll find three kinds of resources: (1) Concept Overviews, (2) Instructor Notes, and (3) Debriefing Guides.
The guide also provides links to videos featuring people practicing the core elements of Public Narrative.
