  1. Tales From Around The WorldOctober 8, 2008 at 1:32 PM

    Larry Ferlazzo (an amazing educator) gave me permission to share this comment that he wrote in his blog [http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org]
    as part of a longer October 5, 2008 post discussing the effectiveness of sharing one's beliefs:

    "During my nineteen years as a community organizer, I learned that the way to move people to action was first to learn their self-interests — their vision for themselves, their families and the world. I could only do that in the context of developing a reciprocal relationship, which could not be done unilaterally. I had to also exchange my story and be open to seeing other views and the possibilities of thinking differently myself.
    Once I developed that relationship, and learned those self-interests, I was able to think through with them how my perspectives might help them realize their goals. It was not a quick process."

    I believe it speaks well to the power of sharing our stories, to how listening to others' stories enriches our lives, leads to new levels of understanding, leads to new questions, and so on.

    Thank you, Larry!
