EduProtocols are lesson frames that can be used with any curriculum and are designed to allow students to engage in discussions, practice thinking with agility, and develop creativity as they show what they know. In this professional learning series each session will focus on one EduProtocol. You will experience the EduProtocol from the student viewpoint and learn tips and tricks for using the protocol in your classroom. Templates to help you easily get started with the protocols will also be shared. Attend as many sessions as fit your interests and schedule. EduProtocols covered in the series are Iron Chef (9-15-22), BookaKucha (9-21-22), Great American Race(10-05-22), Sketch & Tell (10-19-22), Thin Slides & Thick Slides (11-10-22), Numbermania (11-16-22), and Game of Quotes (12-01-22). Each session you attend is eligible for one SCECH credit and you can earn up to 7 SCECH credits. One $10 fee will process all of the SCECH credits you earn.
If you are looking for a fun way to get your students more deeply engaged in silent reading, then the "Game of Quotes" EduProtocol is for you. What happens in this protocol is that students have their usual silent reading time but at the end of silent reading time, they are given a prompt for round one. The students flip through the pages of their books looking for a good response to the prompt. They then share their responses and vote on a winner. Additional prompts are given and laughter and interest in books is generated. Attendees at this session should have a book or magazine they are currently reading to use for game play.
