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

What a great book! Take back your teaching-home life balance! Stop letting teaching suck the life out of you by doing more, and more and more. With eduprotocols, the teacher does less and the kids do more.

I really enjoyed this book. Most of the ideas are built around Google slides. The authors have a lot of fun ideas and they keep repeating many personal favorite: keep it moving. Looking forward to more in this series.

The ideas presented in this book are solid. However, they are almost exclusively designed for 1-1 schools. Sure, you could modify the activities, but this requires knowledge and expertise, something newer teachers will not have. Also, the modifications result in activities that are common: Iron Chef is simply a modified jigsaw. Overall, I would recommend this book if you are a 1-1 school and looking to freshen things up. If you’re not 1-1, there are other books you could spend $ on which would give you things you can actually implement.

Received last week and already read it and began planning lessons to implement. But it at the beginning of the school year to get the best bang for your buck, but also when you need to get back on track with your class. Any subject! Any grade! I teach middle school ELA, and have not been so excited about a strategy for a long time!

I have been so grateful to have started eduprotocols at the beginning of the year. I have taught a combo class of third and fourth graders (and then Covid hit last year). Transitioning to digital and paper-free was transformational in my class. The higher-level thinking skills were evidenced in every eduprotocol. This year I was assigned a combo (during COVID and all online, distance-learning) but was given a new grade to teach. 2nd grade with 3rd graders. Could I do this with little kids? Would they be able to handle the thinking skills? What about learning loss? THEY KILLED IT! They adapted and showed resilience and now ask for eduprotocols to show what they know! They have become collaborators, creators, communicators in primary with a purpose! I am positive Eduprotocols have made me a better teacher and the students have learned how to work smarter, not harder (and thank goodness, so has their happy teacher!)

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.

I really hate that I have to be the first one to not write a five star review. The book has some great suggestions and I thought I was going to love it until I got through almost all the eduprotocols. I am a 2nd grade teacher and I'm one semester away from receiving my masters in Instructional Technology. I have a set of Chromebooks in my classroom, but with 25 kids this upcoming school year, there would be no way I would digitally use a the Frayer Model as an instructional strategy, sometimes paper is just as effective and in this case, it's quicker. My 2nd graders last year were pretty quick logging into Google Classroom and we utilized several features including slides, but all the authors eduprotocols and their examples in the book were directed toward middle and high school aged students. There were a few bullet points on how to adapt to the "littles" but not sufficient enough. I think this is a wonderful book for 4th-12th grade level teachers, and I took away bits of goodness, but If you are a primary teacher, you may be disappointed and a little annoyed at the targeted audience. I know the authors are truly wonderful at their craft, but I was hoping for something else.

I’m excited to try some of the templates and strategies in this resource. I also like that some of the templates can easily transition to paper pencil tasks if needed!

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

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

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!
