All Grade Levels, Storytelling, Tell Us Something Director and Teaching Experience

DISCIPLINE // Storytelling

BIO // Tell Us Something Executive Director Marc Moss was professionally trained as an English educator, certified in 1995 to teach English 7-12 in the state of Ohio. He went on to teach in the world’s best classroom, Yellowstone National Park, as a seasonal ranger-naturalist from 1999-2001, telling the stories of the geothermals there, the ecology of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and the Historical Fort Yellowstone.  He fell in love with storytelling listening to Garrison Keillor on Prairie Home Companion on long drives with his dad as a kid. Upon Arriving in Missoula, he experienced formal personal storytelling for the first time at a live storytelling event at the PEAS Farm, and has been cultivating personal storytelling in Missoula in some fashion ever since. He brings his expertise in storytelling to recruiting storytellers and to the story coaching workshops that he requires of each storyteller before each Tell Us Something event.

Student Reflections on Storytelling with Marc Moss:

“I learned how to be a better storyteller and make the listener more engaged to the story.”

“It helped me start to learn how to get over my fear of public speaking.”

“I like how we brought back something mostly seen for kindergartners and brought it to an eight grade class; storytelling. We learned that storytelling isn’t just for kindergartners, it’s a life skill.”
