Foreword
Dear reader,
Stories have always been at the heart of how we learn, connect, and make sense of the world. In the classroom, story telling transcends entertainment—it becomes a powerful pedagogical tool that nurtures imagination, builds language fluency, deepens conceptual understanding, and cultivates empathy. This issue of Excellent Educator explores how educators across diverse contexts are weaving storytelling into the fabric of teaching and learning.
From enhancing oral proficiency in language learners to supporting emotional regulation in early years, the research featured here illustrates the transformative potential of story. Whether delivered through voice, video, visuals, or co-created narratives, stories make learning personal, memorable, and inclusive. In these pages, readers will discover practical strategies to engage students in rich dialogue, scaffold content through culturally relevant tales, and use narrative techniques to foster 21st-century skills like collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.
As education increasingly values learner agency and holistic development, storytelling offers a low-cost, high-impact practice that belongs in every teacher’s toolkit. We invite you to read, reflect, and reimagine your classroom—one story at a time.
Warm regards,
Dr. E. Mahiban Ross, Chief Editor, Excellent Educator
