Recently discussed this topic after listening to a fellow go on and on about his experiences with inflatable boats:
Good stories should have a point.
How you teach storytelling, in fact how you teach anything, is an art. Curriculum - what to teach is important - but what we learn is not necessarily on the curriculum.
Of course, teaching storytelling is also teaching public speaking.
Improv classes have a game called 1-2-3-4. I have found it to be an excellent way of learning the basics of storytelling.
(but not necessarily what goes into making a point.)
