Chapter 10: Storytelling for Ultimate Engagement

Programs to improve the educational setting in schools are being introduced through a variety of sources. Those entities include universities, public and nonprofit organizations, a multitude of different companies, and other genuinely interested groups and individuals. When Texas A&M University-San Antonio began its improvement efforts to address growth with the Strategic Plan for Student Academic Success, one of the basic parts of the plan was the improvement of instruction by directing its focus from what is being taught (content) to how teachers or professors teach the required skills (instruction). This effort became the cornerstone of the student academic success improvement program. (Texas A&M University-San Antonio, 2016).
