The ‘Early Learning in Fife Podcast’ provides a platform for guests to share insights, experiences, and expertise surrounding different curricular areas and important topics, as well as exploration of the variety of interesting and valuable things that are happening across the service.
Podcasting is a more informal and conversational approach to ‘Professional Learning.’ The format provides opportunity for the sharing of insights, ideas, and personal experiences that listeners can draw inspiration from and apply within their own practice.
In this episode, Aileen Allan joins Scott Bissett to discuss where her passion for stories comes from, why storytelling is such an important and beneficial part of children’s Early Years’ experience, and draws upon her own experiences to provide insight, advice and encouragement for those who may find storytelling a daunting experience.
Continuing on from Episode 1, Scott and Aileen consider how our approach to storytelling has evolved over recent years, particularly with regards to where, when, and how story can take place. Additionally, the episode focuses on the ‘art of storytelling’ and the key things to consider if we want to make story a more engaging, interactive, and impactful experience.
An accompanying poster summarising the key considerations discussed across both episodes for creating an engaging, interactive, and beneficial story experience can be found here.
