Protocols

**Protocols are structures for doing things like brainstorming, active listening, reading a text and discussing the text, etc.**

 * We use protocols in the Ford PAS professional development workshops to actively engage participants, create equity in sharing so that no one person dominates, and to keep groups on task (many of the same reasons you might want to use them in your classroom). Here are the ones we exposed you to thus far from the National School Reform Faculty. You can download others from their website at [|www.nsrfharmony.org].**
