Protocols


Protocols let students share their perspectives, teach them evidence-based reasoning, and grow their confidence in themselves as thinkers.

Protocols also create a space where collaboration and a shared sense of purpose are valued.

Below are some of our favorite protocols, and you can click on each one to find out how to use it in your classroom. Be sure to let us know how it goes! Email us at office@theideaschool.org.
