Overview

Using storytelling and narrative inquiry can revolutionize the preparation and professional growth of educators. In an era where standardized methods often dominate teacher training, narrative dynamism offers a powerful alternative that centers lived experience, and reflective practice. By embracing the fluid, evolving nature of narrative, this approach empowers educators to make deeper connections between theory and practice, foster empathy, and cultivate more responsive, inclusive classroom environments. Using narrative and storytelling can help reimagine teacher education that is not only pedagogically rich but also deeply human. Transforming Teacher Education Through Narrative Dynamism explores the evolving role of narrative dynamism in teacher education. This book provides educators with innovative strategies that enhance student engagement. Covering topics such as teacher education, storytelling, and narrative dynamism, this book is an excellent resource for university lecturers in teacher education, school administrators, curriculum developers, and pre-service and in-service teachers.
