Overview Overview
 

Following an introduction to the ideas of Narrative Practice, students will explore the multi-storied and fluid nature of identity through experiential exercises. Links to developmental psychology and its application to schools will allow for reflection on the quality of their relationship with children and the idea of school “as secure base”.
Drawing on the “Maps” of Narrative Practice [White 2007], Externalising, Re-authoring and Re-membering. Students will learn skills for conducting conversations with children about problems they face and about positive directions in their lives. Heteronormativity will be explored as an example of how school culture can silence identity stories.
Students will learn how to excavate storylines of talent, effort, and commitment in the lives of their pupils and contribute to positive identities. A model for a Care Team will also be introduced.
