What are EduProtocols?
EduProtocols are instructional lesson frames that are designed to engage students in learning through critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity.
EduProtocols can be used with any subject, any grade level, kindergarten through adult.
Once students know the protocol, just rinse and repeat with any content!
Are they really that simple? Yes!
They look hard? You’ll find that there is a learning curve, but once you learn 2 to 3 of them, most will follow a similar pattern, and they become easier and easier to teach. PLUS, once kids learn one, they know it. And they can move effortlessly into content in a snap! You’ll notice your students starting slow for the first week or so, and then they will really start to click and will be able to move at a faster pace.
What is Smart Start? To make it all easier, be sure to use the Smart Start strategy, where kids do the EduProtocol with fun and light content before moving into the curriculum. Content like your favorite cartoon, sneakers, sport, or food. Then volcanoes, weather patterns, genres, and parts of speech!
Should I have the book? Yes, we recommend getting the book. You will need the book. The comprehensive guides provide detailed instructions and invaluable teaching tips, known as ‘the nuances’, for successful implementation of EduProtocols.
Do you train teachers? Yes, on our membership site, EduProtocolsPlus.com, we provide live content and training, courses, and many, many templates! We also do on-site PD and keynotes. Just let us know what you need! Use this form to reach us.

EduProtocols are Adaptive:
By their very nature, EduProtocol lesson frames are adaptive as the curriculum changes and students move from one topic to another in their studies. Once they have learned a particular lesson frame, the teacher is able to repeat that lesson frame with a variety of content.
-
Use EduProtocols with Your Content:
The workflow of each EduProtocol stays the same, allowing students to understand the process in order to stay focused on the learning of the content.

EduProtocols are Rich in the Four C’s
EduProtocols are suitable for students across the grade span, from kindergarten through adult learners and allow the learner to engage with the Four Cs (collaboration, critical thinking, communication, and creativity) in a UDL friendly format.
What are EduProtocols?
How do EduProtocols Work?
Teachers use the lesson frames to facilitate instruction with students. Students learn the lesson frame so that their focus is on content instead of how to do the lesson.
Teachers work less because the prep is fairly easy, often times using a blank slide for student work.
About the Book Series
There is a growing library of books to support the implementation of EduProtocols in a classroom, school, or district.
The beginning books that contain the main collection of EduProtocols and directions for practicers is The EduProtocol Field Guide, books 1 and 2 by Marlena Hebern and Jon Corippo
The EduProtocols were created by Jon and Marlena to address the need for students to engage in deeper learning using technology as a tool instead of an automation device. As a result, the protocols were born! And since then, hundreds of classrooms has converted to Four Cs centered instruction.
Educators working on a wider implementation may find Kim Voge’s book, EduProtocols: Deploying a helpful resource.
