The EduProtocol Field Guide: 16 Student-Centered Lesson Frames for Infinite Learning Possibilities

I have bought and returned many an teacher book, but I am keeping this one. I came across this idea by finding their podcast. So I thought I would try the book. I was impressed. Thus is a book of strategies that can be used again and again with different content. Their analogy is you teach kids how to "drive the truck" then they can haul anything. You teach them the protocol and then use it again and again so they don't have to learn the activity just the content. One example is a "thin slide". Two students work on the slideshow together. 1. Each looks up their individual given topic and adds their info to their slide. 2. On third slide they create a Venn diagram together and discuss. 3. Each writes their own paragraph. They learn this framework with something easy to compare and then use it with content. This can then be used to compare/contrast anything. Learn the strategies and then use them again and again. This is an easy read that you can pick up and read a section tatty interests you. Totally worth the money and I just purchased volume 2.

This book is amazing. I’m starting the new quarter in January by teaching the protocols to my students.

The shift to distance learning has made the use of technology in classrooms a hot topic. This book is full of practical activities to deepen students’ learning. It supports Magana’s work as outlined in the book Disruptive Classroom Technologies. As a former AVID teacher and District Director as well as Marzano practitioner (back in the day when I was still teaching), I particularly appreciate the array of instructional practices shared in this book. I managed to participate in the first cohort of students enrolled in the T3 EduProtocols training and highly recommend the training and this book to any teacher or educational leader desiring strategies to engage students in a distance learning format. I’m now using some of these strategies in online professional development to engage teachers, to introduce them to the notion of student engagement in a virtual classroom.

I teach 6,7 and 8th grade English Language Arts and Eduprotocol saved me from getting buried under big curriculum binders that are hard to comprehend, leave alone teaching. This book is highly simple to read and you can quickly implement the tools. Eduprotocol's website has several free templates that are mentioned in the book. The protocols are highly engaging and requires less work from the teacher in the background. The actual work is while you are working with the students and giving them feedback at that very moment. The quick feed back and the engagement part is what my students love about all the protocol especially the 8 Parts. If you are looking to lift up the energy level of your class, meet the needs of ALL students, save time and use it efficiently- this is THE BOOK for YOU!

As an educator, I am always looking for new ideas. This book gives a simple and easy format to implement daily lessons.

At the beginning of this school year, my principle mentioned a book he'd heard about on Twitter. After checking it out, I purchased it here on Amazon. Teaching high school, my students laugh when I "guinea pig" them on new ideas. They loved these! As we moved through the year, we tried out a few of the protocols multiple times. Now, a year later, I'm using the book to plan a lot of my year and also independent study modules. I also love the fact that I have never read the book cover to cover. I just thumbed through until I saw something that I liked, and went with it. There are also very helpful templates on the author's websites. Lastly, it's been really great getting to know the authors via Twitter interactions and face-to-face in conference settings. They are truly helpful individuals! I can't wait for book 2 to arrive.

I read the book over a year ago. I'm hooked! I have trained teachers at all grade levels over the past year using EduProtocols. Most of the audience experience an eye-opening awakening to the possibilities of more efficient teaching while addressing both content and Common Core State Standards. Eduprotocols save prep time, save grading time, increase student motivation and increase engagement. Which teacher doesn't want that type of outcome? Eduprotocols are really open-ended frameworks in which teachers put their content and emphasis on learning. Once students master the simple steps of the protocol process, learning just flys by. The EduProtocol all by itself, by just following the process, addresses all CCSS Speaking and Listening standards and supports all 4Cs: communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. Teachers in every academic discipline have discovered how to use a number of the EduProtocols described in the book. Mix, match and remix, it works for nearly everything that can be taught. I have used EduProtocols in higher education courses and have taught higher ed courses on Eduprotocols. My favorite activities at Higher Ed levels are Frayer a Classmate (Frayer Model introduction activity), Cyber Sandwich (Venn diagram comparison/contrast activity), and Fast & Curious (Quizing strategy for facts and concepts or open-ended question response and voting techniques). I'm looking forward to trying Iron Chef and Bookakucha on college students. Check out Twitter #eduprotocols for more insight on how useful and successful EduProtocols are for teachers and students.

Awesome resource! Highly recommended and good for range of ages.

Marlena und Jon sind einfach genial! Sie haben meinen Unterricht mit diesem Buch mehr verbessert als alle obligatorischen Weiterbildungen, an denen ich in den letzen Jahren teilgenommen habe. Danke vielmals!

Excellent refreshing resource. Forward thinking and focusing on 21st century skills. You will not be disappointed. This will inspire you!
