 Storytelling Applied as Design Thinking Tool to Solve a Challenge : 

 Monocultural v Bicultural Education 

 Challenge . 

 A school always is a place for debates and difficult , challenging decisions . 

 Imagine a school where , there is many stakeholders all with different goals :   the   teachers , the upper administration , the parents , the regulations that must be complied   with and the main stakeholder , the student whose opinion is , in general , the least   considered .   Now , let ’s add an additional issue :   In schools with a high population of   English Language Learners , like Bandung Institute of Technology in Texas , a Dual Language Enrichment   ( DLE ) model is offered .   Unfortunately this program can be declined by the parents , now   that they are in the U.S.   This model is only offered up to 5th grade .   Although the   bicultural benefits have been extensively demonstrated , still some parents insist in their   children attending “ English only schooling ” .   The challenge is to demonstrate the   parents how the DLE model , a bicultural education approach can benefit their   student(s ) .

 Selected Tool :   Storytelling . 

 We believe storytelling is the perfect tool to overcome this challenge .   Storytelling 

 results will   establish a trusted relationship which gives access to the listener of a   message paying more attention to the emitter of that message , given some conditions . 

 Application . 

 Commonalities like their language -most parents speak only Spanish- , the place 

 they were born , their experience as migrants , etc .   Storytelling in this case has involved   sharing my experience as a bicultural immigrant student myself , if I know the location   they are from or if I have been there , the kind of food we like and eat , how I became an   immigrant , how knowing two languages helped me gain a better job in the U.S. , etc .    This empathic approach has been very successful in the parents being not only more   understanding of the situation but also a better student - teacher relationship which   facilitates the learning process .   This approach went beyond its initial goals of showing   the parents that a bicultural education could be the best choice for their child and having   an impactful effect the whole school year . 

 Insight gain . 

 Storytelling is a powerful tool , however , this fact is not as evident as when the 

 tool is applied and the behaviors and performance of the scholars   both all along and at   the end of the school year come back and are analyzed .   At least for me , who have an   engineering background , the first approach is number oriented not people focused . 

 Approach . 

 The more you do Storytelling , the better results you obtain , with decreasing 

 benefits the more time it is done .   Unfortunately , teachers have limited time and   sometimes around 100 students divided in four sections .   “ Problem pupils ” can take up   much more time than the average student .   So I would not change the tool , instead I   would further refine the current tool to the particular configuration of the unique set of   variables a given school year deals us .
