Story Ground in the Secondary English Classroom

What new knowledge is generated through students’ engagement with Story Ground practices, and how might the use of these modalities and protocols inform teaching and learning in the English classroom? Story Ground is a pedagogical initiative that intersects traditional and contemporary Indigenous knowledge and creative practice through tertiary teaching, school and community outreach work, and creative practice research. We believe its principles can be extended to school teachers who teach creative writing - or creative practice - as part of their role. The research team applied Story Ground principles to the College environment in a series of engagements over a one year period, conducting qualitative analysis to assess impact.
