The Power of Story in the Classroom

Picture
We are excited to be able to have Trevor Muir, as the 2018 LOTL Conference keynote.  Join Trevor as he shares how educators can shape their classrooms using the power of storytelling and brain science to achieve real student engagement, and in return, learning that is permanent and memorable. Any teacher, in any subject area, and in any grade level can use these practical and proven practices to transform their classrooms into settings where students are engaged, challenged, and transformed.  Below is his keynote title and description.

The Power of Story in the Classroom
Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools in the human arsenal. For most of human history, stories have been the primary means in which people have passed down knowledge, technology, culture, religion, and entertainment. Neurological research has even found that storytelling has permanent, lasting effects on the brain; more than any other form of communication. This power of story needs to be harnessed in the classroom.


Trevor is a teacher, author, international speaker, and project based learning expert.
He is the author of The Epic Classroom: How to Boost Engagement, Make Learning Memorable and Transform Lives, a book about using the power of story to make learning engaging and unforgettable. Trevor is a faculty member for the Buck Institute For Education, and is the host and creator for the We Are Teachers show, Teacher Helpline Live. His writing has been featured in the Huffington Post and EdWeek. He gave a TEDx Talk titled, "School Should Take Place in the Real World," at TEDxSanAntonio. Trevor runs the Facebook page, The Epic Classroom, where his videos have been viewed over 22 million times.
