Keynote “Narrative Pedagogy: More than
Just Telling Stories”
In this session we will explore what Narrative Pedagogy
is and why it is appropriate for nursing. We will also examine
how Narrative Pedagogy is more than a teaching strategy,
and what it has to offer nursing education. We will explore
how attending to the Concernful Practices improve our teaching/learning
environments. |
| 2:15 – 3:00 |
Gathering students in ways that open up possibilities
for teaching and learning
Participants will be invited to write a few sentences (no
more than one paragraph) about what concerns them most about
Narrative Pedagogy.
We will share the concerns we have about teaching in a different
way, identify common concerns, and discuss how and why they
are significant and meaningful to us as educators. |

Fostering Nurse Thinking - Interpreting a Student’s
Story
In this session we will demonstrate how we can use stories
to help students think like nurses. We will work together
to interpret a student’s story from multiple perspectives,
and practice identifying assumptions that are commonly made.
|
| 4:00-4:30 |
Plan for tomorrow. The Narrative Assignment -
handout
We will discuss how to use the Narrative Assignment. Participants
will be invited to write a 1 page story and bring it back
tomorrow to be read aloud. The story will be about one of
the following:
- Trying Something New or
- Holding on to Something Familiar
Presenters will read their own stories of “Trying
Something New” as examples. |
