Overview
For nearly 2 decades, Looking Together at Student Work and The Power of Protocols have sustained educators in their professional learning. Protocols in the Classroom expands the scope of those books from teachers’ professional learning to include students’ learning, providing teachers with the tools they need to use discussion protocols to support students in developing crucial skills and habits as readers, writers, critical thinkers, and active participants within the classroom community.
For each protocol the authors provide a clear set of steps, tips for teachers and students in facilitating the protocol, and a story of a teacher using the protocol with students. The book is filled with resources for getting started using protocols with students, as well as for deepening the use of protocols over time. It also relates protocols to other strategies for supporting students’ learning, including Accountable Talk, Thinking Routines, and Socratic seminars. The authors describe how protocols contribute to a schoolwide culture of discussion, inquiry, and reflection.
“These authors really know what they are writing about—not just protocols (though they are world experts there) but teaching and learning.”
—From the Foreword by Joseph P. McDonald, emeritus professor, New York University
“Excellent examples, along with multiple protocols, provide the tools to get started immediately. This book is a phenomenal resource.”
—Kari Thierer, School Reform Initiative
“This is the perfect guidebook for teachers to use protocols effectively in their classrooms.”
—Ron Berger, EL Education

What People are Saying About This
“If you are a teacher and you’re ready, this book will grab you. . . . The payoff, I predict, will be that your students’ learning will become more visible to you than ever before. More importantly, it will become more visible to the students themselves.”—From the Foreword by Joseph P. McDonald, emeritus professor, New York University
“Using protocols with students has the capacity to dramatically increase student engagement and critical thinking in the classroom. The authors have provided not only the ‘why’ of using protocols but have included clear steps about how to create the conditions and implement protocols effectively with students. Excellent examples, along with multiple protocols, provide the tools to get started immediately. This book is a phenomenal resource for educators and will serve learners of all ages.”—Kari Thierer, executive director, School Reform Initiative
Protocols are a key part of our national charge to make education equitable: They ensure that all students have a voice and are engaged to think deeply. This is the perfect guidebook for teachers to use protocols effectively in their classrooms.—Ron Berger, chief academic officer, EL Education
“It is clear that groups perform better when guided by clear norms and protocols. Protocols in the Classroom offers an unmatched set of practical and proven process tools to guide teachers and students in productive learning interactions.”—Jay McTighe, co-author, Understanding by Design®
"This is a blueprint for authentic relevant teaching. Read Protocols in the Classroom. It reminds us we can inspire students to be lifelong learners through their experiences in our classrooms."—Gillian Smith, founding principal, The Facing History School, New York City
