PROTOCOL STEPS 1.  Take 10 minutes to read the article and

highlight a sentence or passage that you would like to explore with others.

2.  Person #1 will read text aloud and withhold any judgment or interpretation. Rest of group will respond to the text, making sense of it from their own perspectives.

3.  Person #1 will have the “last word” giving his/her interpretation based on original thoughts and new ideas gleaned from listening to the conversation.

4.  Rotate so that each person in the group will have the same opportunity.

SAVE THE LAST WORD FOR ME

Opportunity to practice: •  Voice—each person responds to the text

•  Social construction—the group enhances the meaning of the text by listening and then building on ideas

•  Self-discovery—what did you learn about yourself as you participated in this protocol? In what ways did it affect the way you understood the text?

ENTERTAINING THE YES, BUTS

•  Giving voice to the real and imagined concerns with doing this – Keep a written record of the yes, buts

in your head so that it doesn’t stifle the generative process

– Sort yes, buts into two categories: • Management (nuts and bolts) • Fears (staff, student, parent,

accountability) 21
