For 35 years I've taught communication skills at the elementary and middle school level learning eventually that the best way to present any values and ideas is through the medium of story. My stories - they amuse me; I hope they'll amuse you - are intented to entertain while evoking thoughtful discussion about what makes us successful in social settings.
My new workshop for teachers on professional days begins with the story and works outward to "lessons" for the classroom. This is the approach that will make any treatment of social responsibility including empathy for others, accountability for our own actions, and conflict resolution meaningful after the classroom work ends.
