Hello, my name is David,
I am a in the beginning stages of teaching. But, I have already seen how contextual instruction plays a major role in how our students retain information. I work with English speaking students, as well as, ESL students. And, each group advances faster when the lesson is presented to them in story form, especially math.

Hi David,
Welcome to LINCS. I agree that contextual instruction provides meaning and relevance to the learner's experience. Can you share some more information about how you approach instruction in story form? Are you using a curriuclum or developing the stories on your own? I'd love to hear more about your strategies.
Sincerely,
Kathy Tracey
