This important professional development tool describes nearly 30 protocols or “scripts” for conducting meetings, conversations, and other learning experiences among educators―in one, easy-to-use resource. For anyone working with collaborative groups of teachers on everything from school improvement to curriculum development, this book features:

Protocols for working together on problems of practice, for studying together, for organizing many different kinds of meetings, and for looking together at student work.
A thorough text that describes each protocol, provides a rationale for using them, explains the particular purpose for which each protocol was designed, discusses the value that educators have found in using them, and offers helpful tips for facilitators.
Valuable appendices that list relevant resources, such as websites, contact addresses, and training opportunities, and a table that lists all of the protocols with suggestions for cross-use.
A free supplement on the Teachers College Press website with “Abbreviated Protocols” that can be downloaded and customized to suit each facilitator’s needs.
