Title: Special Session: See Something, Say Something:Redirecting Stories for Organizational Change
Abstract: Telling our lived stories and listening to others’ stories are part of how we make sense of our lives and build our communities. It is no wonder that stories hold us in such thrall and have power in our relationships and organizations. Both listening to and telling stories are important skills for engineering educators and change agents at any career stage. We also have to learn how to nudge the stories towards the improved future we know can occur. Before we can redirect the stories in our organizations as part of making change happen, we have to learn how to identify, and build meaning from, the stories we hear. This special session builds on data from our active research study of systemic curricular change origins as well as the work of others to demonstrate techniques to nudge stories. Every member of the FIE community, regardless of their institution or job title, is a potential change agent for improving CSET education and needs opportunities to continue building their skill sets. In this special session, we offer a portion of this training in an interactive, hands-on manner within the safe environment of FIE.
