Tuning+Protocol

We had a very informative conversation around the tuning protocol this morning, Wednesday January 31, 2007. Below is a copy of the conversation, an adapted tuning protocol provided by Mary Anne, and an article from Education Leadership about using a tuning protocol. Please feel free to add to the group knowledge base. If you do not have permissions to edit let Roland know so that he can invite you to be a member of the wiki.

Tuning Protocol adapted for use with team meetings

**An extremely important component for tuning protocol meetings**. Warm feedback focus' teachers on what the students have accomplished/learned as it relates to standards, rather than on what they have not learned. What the students know guides the essence of discussions toward the teacher's next steps. Promoting strong differentiated instruction. You have to stress the focus on **what do students understand** as a means to guide the conversation before you ever discuss what they didn't get; otherwise, it is too easy to focus on the negative.
