Summary:

"The use of discussion protocols in schools is pervasive, but the quality of these conversations is inconsistent, and teachers often participate in meetings where a protocol may not be used adequately for a specific purpose. In Discussion Protocols, author Thomas M. Van Soelen models the deep thinking needed for skillful meeting agendas to ensure that a discussion protocol can effectively assist a meeting's goals, and provides scaffolds for frequently used protocols and stories of successful implementation in schools, districts, professional learning communities, and professional development. This book helps both new and veteran educators facilitate constructive meetings and, as a group, catalyze great work in schools through detailed, high-quality protocols"-- Provided by publisher.
