Curriculum.

Each period of apprenticeship is designed to be complete in itself and we anticipate that apprentices will wish to continue to develop their practice over two or more years. There are several facets to the learning outlined below.

01

Training through Transcripts

Each month you will present a transcript of your practice which will be studied in detail by your apprenticers (David, Tom or Kay). In their study of your transcript, they will amend your transcript by adding alternative questions (questions that they themselves would ask,) into your transcript and then meet with you for an hour over Zoom to teach you advanced counter-storying practices. Kay or Tom will work with most of your transcripts and David will work on one, later in the year, once you have had time to immerse yourself and your practice in the teachings.

Details & Practicalities
Your transcript should be sent to your apprenticer one week before your training session on Zoom

• Your apprenticer will work on your transcript for one hour before the session.
• You will meet one-on-one with your apprenticer for one hour on Zoom
• Your apprenticer will send you your amended transcript immediately after the session
• When you receive your ammended transcript, send it to your team, ready for discussion at your meeting at the end of the month.

02

Team Sessions

Once a month you will meet with your team to discuss your learning and share ideas. Tom and Kay will lead the first of these meetings. Prepare of each meeting by studying your latest transcript and bring a question for the team to discuss. Be ready to speak about what you are learning at the start of each meeting. This could be about learning about a particular question, a particular practice, or how your learning is showing up in your practice.

03

Story Sessions

Several times a year, the group will meet with Kay and Tom to study stories from practice. You will write your own map of the stories as a way of playing with inventing new ways of describing narrative practice and share and discuss the maps together.

04

Letter Sessions

 At least once a year, you will write a narrative letter and submit it to the group. We will meet together to learn from each other’s letter writing.

05

End of Year Show

In February we will all meet together to celebrate your learning over the year. You will be asked to bring an ‘exhibit’ for the show, which tells the story of your learning. This could be a story, a letter, a reflection, or something else.
