What Does Peer-Reviewed Research Say?
•Research proves Class Discussion improves learning
•Students everywhere are reluctant to engage in discussion (not just at my school)
•Teachers have to set the environment to encourage participation in discussion
•Giving credit has some minimal effect in encouraging participation.
•Although many strategies have been tried, I could not find any published study on using School Reform Initiative Protocols to set up the parameters.

All students preferred using a protocol.
“We find different things.”“It makes us think deeper.”“It got your wheels going to see other perspectives.”“It’s more organized and everyone gets to share.”
