Many of you were very positive about having a structured, facilitated conversation using School Reform Initiative protocols. This is work I am very passionate about and it has been some of the most meaningful professional learning I have done. While anyone can use SRI's protocols, they always work best when facilitated by a trained facilitator. Further, collaborative practices is much more than protocols. If you are interested in pursuing this further, I am co-teaching an introductory course this summer: https://www.smore.com/bym1q-summer-offerings-2016. Please feel free to contact me for more information.
Thanks again for sharing your thinking with me and with the group, I learned so much!
best,
Jeanie
