School Talk

School Talk: Conversation protocols & resources for leaders and teachers is a new collection published in January 2019 and includes 20 original protocols as set of starting points for school-based conversations.

They are not intended to be scripts that remain static, but rather a guide for dialogue and collaboration. 

The protocols are a menu rather than a mandate - identify what you need and then choose a conversation protocol; adapt it as you wish.

​Simple step-by-step guides for leaders and teachers to have important conversations.
