Steve Bell (educator)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steve Bell (* 1936 ) is a British educator. After training as a sculptor and teacher, he first worked in elementary schools, later as a lecturer in teacher training at Jordanhill College of Education in Glasgow - today Strathclyde University .

In the 1960s he played a key role in developing the storyline method , a concept for creativity-promoting, action-oriented primary school lessons. Through decades of continuing education work, he and his colleagues succeeded in first anchoring this new pedagogical approach in primary and comprehensive schools in Scotland. Since 1990, Bell has made a decisive contribution to the spread of the storyline method in many countries in Northern Europe, but also in the USA and some Asian countries, through extensive international lecture and training work. Steve Bell is Chairman of the European Association for Educational Design (EED) and lives in Stirlingshire. Together with Sallie Harkness, he published the book "Storyline - Promoting Language Across the Curriculum" in 2006.
