Children learn best when curriculum is integrated. The Scottish Storyline method, developed fifty years ago in Glasgow, Scotland, uses the power of story to engage children and provide a meaningful context for teachers to deliver curriculum that mirrors real life.

In this course you will experience Storyline as a learner and educator. You’ll learn structures and strategies that allow you to meet any curricular goals, and meet the needs of all students. At the end of the course, you’ll develop a new Storyline topic to use in your classroom. This can be done together with colleagues.

Storyline I is offered in person in Portland and Bend, Oregon each summer. It is also available as a sponsored class.

This course will provide a refresher for people who are looking for the support of working through a new Storyline topic and the opportunity to write a new topic with the support of Storyline trainers. This course runs concurrently with Storyline I: An Introduction.

This course is structured in monthly meetings as a support for teachers using the Storyline method. Special topics to include: art and frieze techniques, key questions and incidents, structures, character creation and development, curriculum integration, evaluation and assessment, and designing new Storyline topics.
