Education
Playback practitioners use the method in schools to address curriculum (students tell stories of characters in literature or social studies, and enact their stories); literacy (students tell stories from their lives and are motivated to write them down); and social issues such as bullying (students tell stories about their experiences in relation to bullying and explore ways to create a respectful and safe school environment). Playback is used both by classroom teachers and by visiting performers/leaders.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“I think the most important education that we have is the education which now I am glad to say is being accepted as the proper one, and one which ought to be widely diffused, that industrial, vocational education which puts young men and women in a position from which they can by their own efforts work themselves to independence.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“... the whole tenour of female education ... tends to render the best disposed romantic and inconstant; and the remainder vain and mean.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
