Overview

Family Storytelling as Authentic Pedagogy explores the use of family storytelling as a culturally responsible pedagogy for teacher candidates. Drawing on insights from a 10-year storytelling project utilizing the Chautauqua form of storytelling, it documents and describes a writing workshop process from the perspectives of teacher candidates acting in the role of storytelling and literacy coaches. It thereby showcases how Chautauqua storytelling can be used as an effective pedagogic strategy to recognize, value, and validate students’ lived experiences and advocates the teaching of Language Arts as experiential and authentic learning, which draws from the multicultural and multilingual perspectives of students. Serving as a resource for both researchers and pre- and in-service educators, it will appeal to scholars and practitioners with interests in literacy education, culturally responsive pedagogy, culturally relevant pedagogy, culturally sustaining pedagogy, critical pedagogy, critical race theory, liberatory pedagogy, storytelling arts, and Language Arts.
