Being able to identify your own strengths and capabilities - in a world that needs thinkers, innovators and problem solvers - is probably the most important thing you can learn to do
Liz Stevenson - Story Hui Founder
WHY? Learners of all ages are achieving remarkable things, working on real projects in maker-spaces, growing capabilities through play and new technologies. Yet much of this work in real world contexts sits outside the scope of traditional testing and traditional notions of 'success.' To describe our new work we need different methods for evaluating progress.
STORY HUI is a participatory process of monitoring and evaluation. It's sometimes called monitoring without indicators. It involves a cross section of stakeholders, occurs at intervals throughout a learning process and involves the collection of stories of significant change. Once changes have been captured, questioning results in the emergence of themes of successful action. These are analysed as visual data.
