Learning Stories are a form of observation and documentation that is written in a narrative story format. It an opportunity for connecting with families by sharing with them the awesomeness of their children while making visible the power of play.

What are Learning Stories? Have you ever found yourself struggling to find the words to explain what it is or just how powerful it can be? Or perhaps you explain it so much that you want someone else to do it for you! Napcast co-host and conference presenters, Nick and Mike, recently recorded an episode on our podcast “Napcast” with Karen Virta, an educator living down in Mexico around her experience using Learning Stories across different contexts. This episode is a perfect way to explain the power of storytelling to others as well as give you another perspective on it. It’s available wherever you stream your music!

Like any good book, every learning story has a plot and a hero. In a learning story, the hero is always the child. And instead of an epic battle in an enchanted forest, a learning story takes place in reality. It uses pictures and words to tell the tale of a child’s personal growth and development. Learning Stories brings learning to life. Check out additional resources below!

The Learning Stories Conference draws over 400 attendees each year. The Learning Stories Conference Pacific Northwest 2021 will be expansive, with several days of workshops, reflection opportunities, keynote addresses, and networking opportunities. From this conference, we will generate a more unified community – grounded in commitment, action, and accountability – to build resilience in our future generations, inspire curiosity and reflection for educators, and embed responsiveness and restorative justice into our practices, programs, and society. This gathering of minds is not to be missed!

The Presenter Request for Proposal form will be open starting on October 1st, 2020 and must be submitted by February 28th, 2021 for consideration. Registration to attend the conference will open in January 2021.

Presenters will use their own learning stories or narrative style of documentation / assessment as the window through which participants can see how Learning Stories (LS) can live in different contexts, and the various ways programs can use them to support other assessment requirements (TSG, Ecers, NAYEC). In addition to experiencing the different ways LS can exist, participants will also increase their knowledge and tool kits of how to introduce certain strategies and frameworks into their practice. Breakout Sessions will focus on the three areas of responsiveness: Cultural, Pedagogical and Developmental. Below are just some ideas of what we are looking for:

Cultural Responsiveness:

Family Value and Identity
Family Engagement
Self-concept (windows, mirrors, and sliding doors)
Community / Sense of belonging
Different Ways of Being in the World
Recognizing and Addressing Bias Through a Racial Equity Lens

Pedagogical Responsiveness:

Reflective Practice
Environments
Provocations
Observation
Emergent Curriculum
Intentionality
Inquiry-based Practices
Scaffolding and Supporting Play and Work with Children
Responsive Listening (understanding and respecting children’s learning)
Play-based Learning
Project Work / In-depths
Holistic, Strength Based Approaches
Multiple Learning Styles
Continuity of Learning Through Transitions
Politically Responsive
Community / Family Values
Co-learning and Co-participation
Making Learning Visible and Accessible

Developmental Responsiveness:

Physical
Psychosocial
Cognitive
Spiritual
Emotional
Social-Emotional
Intellectual
Aesthetic (visual arts, music, creativity, etc)
Special Education
Social domains
Strengthen based lens
Curriculum that meets and supports the needs of the individual and whole group learning
