A Teacher's Guide to Our Story is part "how-to" manual, part personal narrative, part invitation. It puts forth overarching ideas related to teaching through the use of stories and the Our Story curriculum and addresses important details concerning the first days and weeks of school. It contains guidance on lesson planning and assessments, as well as reflections on the teaching of grammar and culture. It also includes personal anecdotes from the classroom. While the guide offers a road map for teaching language, it is also meant to encourage teachers to teach their own way and embrace their own journey. A Teacher's Guide to Our Story is written for teachers who aim to bring their complete selves to the classroom, by another teacher who is striving to do the same.
