Teachers
Having taught in the classroom, Toni realized that kids will in general hold more information when they can associate it with a classroom activity. One of the most widely recognized classroom exercises is narrating or story telling. Children love listening to their teachers tell stories; when the teacher has their attention and they tune in, children don't lose focus and follow the story until its end.

Students
Getting better at storytelling can help students improve in the classroom just as it can help their teachers. The ability to create a narrative, boil a situation down to its essentials and relate the story in front of a group will boost grades and self-confidence, and is an essential part of leadership skills and a successful educational career.
