Teachers and Students with Severe Learning Difficulties Working Together to Co-Construct Personal Narratives Using Storysharing®: The Teacher Perspective

Support for Learning, v33 n1 p23-37 Feb 2018
The telling of personal stories is a feature of everyday life. Young people with learning difficulties may find it difficult to report what has happened to them. A project was set up to investigate the impact of Storysharing® on the co-construction of personal narratives by staff and students in a special school. The current study investigated the teacher's perspective. The sample was comprised of four special education teachers who had been involved in the implementation of Storysharing®. Semi-structured interviews were carried out at the end of the intervention period. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. Three organising themes emerged from the data: 'Enactment Process'; 'Benefits to Child'; and 'Curriculum.' The Storysharing® intervention appeared to be positively associated with perceived changes to the educational practice of the teachers, revealing its potential for developing narrative in the classroom.
