Marlena Hebern - The EduProtocol Field Guide Book 2: 12 New Lesson Frames for Even More Engagement

I love the concept that EduProtocols are open pedagogy. The beauty of EduProtocols as lesson design frames is that students and teachers become familiar with the steps, yet they are flexible enough to allow for use with a variety of content. EduProtocols are the 21st-century innovation for instructional strategy.

This past year, EduProtocols helped me find freedom from the lesson planning island. The idea behind these protocols is simpletheyre student-centered lesson frames that can be used week to week that incorporate the 4 Cs (critical thinking, creating, collaborating, and communicating) and provide a fifth C for studentsconsistency. By using them, I have seen an increase in student engagement and learning even while I decreased my amount of time planning. As a result, I have earned back cherished learning hours in class and family hours at home.

If there was an engagement-level gauging meter, the meter would swing to 110% when EduProtocols are being implemented in the classroom. Marlena Hebern and Jon Corippo have created a game changer with several low-level, high-ceiling protocols. They are not only transforming the way content is accessed by the students, but they are also changing educators mindsets. As a new-to-the-middle-school ELA teacher, I could easily adapt any of the protocols to meet the diverse needs of my students in an inclusive classroom. It is one of the best inclusive practices! Both EduProtocols 1 and 2 should have a place on every teachers desk and be reread periodically to remind us that there is a better way to engage and challenge all students! This book is a timely reminder that we should teach better, give more instant feedback, and work more efficiently.

The EduProtocol Field Guides distill best practices down to a do-able approach. Going straight to the heart of helping students learn in an engaging way, the authors gently offer insights on what should be happening in everyones class with collaboration, choice, voice, and confidence-building content mastery. Rather than banging a teacher over the head with current research, citations, and edu-jargon and then page after page of deadly boring verbiage, they provide a friendly voice,a voice that asks What are the essentials that a student needs to master academics in a fun and engaging way? They interject enough humor that even a cynical, burned-out teacher could be brought back to life.

These guides are definitely a must-have for teachers that want to burn their over-bloated teacher guides, get their life back from hours of meaningless grading, and move beyond unfocused classroom technology convenience tools. Put a cape on a copy of EduProtocols and let a superhero enter your classroom.

Both effective and engaging, protocols have transformed my teaching and the way I view learning and mastery for my students. The EduProtocol Field Guide, Book 2 includes fun and engaging new protocols as well as variations of the old favorites, showing us just how dynamic these frameworks can be. Marlena and Jon have done an amazing job compiling protocols that help teachers remove learning barriers and differentiate for all learners, from our Gifted students to our ELs, and all the way down to our littlest learners. They have also intricately described how protocols work with learning progression and mastery while applying elements of Universal Design for Learning. Within the pages of this book, educators are reminded to ask practical questions about how to become better teachers and engage students in their learning. The EduProtocol Field Guide, Book 2 is a call to action. If you already use protocols, then share them and your success stories with others. If you dont use protocols yet, get both books and get started!

This book is pure educational dynamite for moving education into the twenty-first century and the answer for how to effectively use the technology you already have in your school. It takes technology-integrated instruction to a new level that readies students for their future in school, college, and career. It is engaging for the adults and even more engaging for the students.

The EduProtocol Field Guide, Book 2 builds off of the great work in Field Guide 1 with more protocols and new iterations of existing protocols. The ability to have simple and usable lessons that teachers can use to integrate technology for the twenty-first century is invaluable. It moves instruction away from copy the same old work in an electronic document and towards creating knowledge with methods that are new, useful, and engaging.

As educators, we are lucky to now have The EduProtocols Field Guide, Book 2 by Marlena Hebern and Jon Corippo! When EduProtocols 1 came out, teachers immediately jumped on board, as they were given access to proven, research-based, technology activities that used repetition, fun, engagement, and diverse ways to help students master our standards of learning.

With additional research and resources, Jon and Marlena take us to new levels of activities and evidence. For those that are new to EduProtocols, youll quickly be given the information needed to jump right in, and then youll be taken deeper into engaging and proven techniques that empower both the teacher and learner.

With all of the activities, instructions, calls to action, and the fierce messages of the immediate necessity of our EduRevolution in this guide, every school and teacher needs to own a copy, as our time for change is passing before us.

If youve already bought into the EduProtocol pedagogy, the second edition will blow your mind all over again. Not only is there a new set of Protocols to get to know, but youll also be given ways to level up your use of the EduProtocols from the first edition. A particular highlight for me is the Iron Chef Flash Project, which has me excited to get the kids creative thoughts flowing in the fall. I cannot recommend this book strongly enough. Just as the first edition did, the second edition will have you rethinking all of your lessons and giving you the tools to change them for the better.
