Next Meeting January 25, 2010

Our next Inquiry Team meeting will be held on Monday, 1.25.10 in the Library.
We will be reflecting on last weeks Quality Review. On our agenda are the following topics:

Revisiting transcribing with StoryTown
Steps to an Effective Inquiry Team Process-Phase 1
Creating Protocols for teacher teams

What are Protocols? A protocol consists of agreed upon guidelines for a conversation, and it is the existence of this structure(which everyone has agreed to)that permits a certain kind of conversation to occur--often a kind of conversation people are not in the habit of having. Protocols are vehicles for building the skills and culture necessary for collaborative work. Thus, using protocols often allows groups to build trust by actually doing substantive work together.

We would greatly appreciate your thoughts/comments on: Why use protocols?
