Our Training Team

  1. Our teammates have unique skills and experiences.  We draw from a wealth of counseling and teaching experiences to share what excites us most about these ways of working. Depending on the request, we bring together an experienced team.  If needed, we can easily bring in others to join us.
  2. Since 2008, Re-Authoring Teaching has experimented with creating online possibilities for creating a collaboratory based on what we cherish about narrative practice. Our approach to teaching and learning believes in learning through immersion, and practice, practice, practice.
  3. Our hybrid approach brings together in-person and online possibilities. Whenever relevant, we can tap into our library of online courses for further exploration of foundations and new horizons, rich story development, narrative therapy in action, and “where the buses don’t run yet.”
  4. Our offerings allow participants to engage with the presenters and each other. We love the challenge of creating interactive spaces for reflections and questions.

Our YouTube & Video Libraries

Depending on the topic, our training can draw from over 100 YouTube and Vimeo videos in our library. Look here at a few YouTube videos giving a glimpse into our teammates.
