The National Education Association (NEA) produced a 10-minute film about the work of Tellin' Stories. Check out the film online. The film was produced for a 3-day NEA/Maryland State Parental Information and Resource Center (MD PIRC)-sponsored training institute that our staff provided to teacher and parent teams from across the country.

The work of Tellin' Stories was featured in the 2nd edition of the National Association of Elementary School Principals Sharing the Dream Report on Promising Practices (PDF).

Tellin' Stories was featured on the PBS To the Contrary program in July, 2002.

A parent activist with Tellin' Stories, Sandra Cruz, received the 2nd annual PRRAC Edith Witt Internship Award.

Tellin' Stories was the 2001 MetLife Foundation Teacher-Parent Engagement Through Partnership Award
