Connecting Through Stories: Lucinda Sage McGordon's Journey in Education and Podcasting

Education On Fire - Sharing creative and inspiring learning in our schools

Lucinda has been a story lover since she and her family watched TV and movies together. Her father taught her how to find the deeper layers of a story. This love prompted her to pursue a double major BA in Religious Studies and Theatre and Speech, a MA in Theatre Arts, and finally a MAEd so she could share her love of stories with her students. She grew up in the Pacific Northwest but has lived in Southern Arizona for over 28 years moving there after a three month trip circumnavigating the globe.

Now completely retired, Lucinda writes her weekly blog Sage Woman Chronicles, is working on her second novel, manages her Patreon Community and Apple subscriptions as well as producing the bi-weekly podcast, Story-Power.

Takeaways:

• The podcast emphasizes the importance of storytelling in understanding human emotions and connections.
• Lucinda's journey highlights how arts education can empower students to express themselves creatively.
• The shift towards STEM subjects in education often overlooks the value of arts and humanities.
• Empowerment and resilience are crucial for students to navigate their personal challenges effectively.
• Lucinda's mentors inspired her to embrace her passions and pursue a career in education.
• The conversation underscores that learning is a lifelong process filled with valuable lessons.
