Coaching

Jennifer coaches teachers, college students and teens to become storytellers.  She believes we each have a story to which we must listen and share with others.

In the Fall/Winter of 2011-2012, Jennifer is facilitating several different coaching/storytelling projects.

She is co-teaching the Oral History of the Holocaust course at Goucher College in Towson, Maryland, for the eighth year. As the storytelling coach for this project, she has individually coached 87 students (through all eight years of the course) as they prepare their stories about the lives of local Holocaust survivors. Each November the students perform these stories at a community event held on the Goucher campus

Jennifer is facilitating the Student Immigrant Stories project at Patterson High School in Baltimore City. This program is sponsored by the Jewish Museum of Maryland. Jennifer works with ESOL students, helping them to tell stories about their native countries and about their experience moving and to, and living in, America. Each semester, Jennifer also works with a select group of students, preparing them to perform their stories for school assemblies and off-campus performances.

Jennifer is also working with teachers at Krieger Schechter Day School as they bring stories and student storytelling projects into their classrooms. Jennifer will work with middle school, lower school, and preschool teachers this year, individually coaching all participating teachers.

Are you interested in learning more about storytelling? Jennifer can coach you to tell your own story, whether it is a personal or family story, or a fairytale. Contact her about her individual coaching sessions.
