Our Mission
Re-authoring Teaching, Inc. draws from the best of our teaching experiences and everyday practices as narrative practitioners with a focus on skill-building and application in a range of contexts. Our Partners, Narrative Online faculty and Workshop Presenters provide professional development and continuing education for many mental health and health care disciplines such as psychologists, clinical mental health counselors, social workers, marriage and family therapists, and psychiatrists. Together we share a commitment to develop training opportunities, online learning resources and continuing education designed for practice, reflection and replenishment.
- Our Vermont Workshops – otherwise known as Refreshing the spirit of the work gatherings- take advantage of our beautiful Vermont location to create rigorous and lively learning experiences where participants can further develop skills in narrative approaches in collaboration with others, while savoring an environment offering panoramic views, good company, and outdoor splendors.
- Our online platform -as described on our newly renovated Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page – is user friendly, easy to navigate, interactive, self paced and adaptable to portable devices.
- Our online courses follow five principles outlined in the book Re-authoring Teaching: Creating a Collaboratory to consult with each other, bring multiple voices into our teaching and learning, and learn about life experiences from people who seek our services.
