TITLE:

Critical Friends SECOND OFFERING

DESCRIPTION:

The Critical Friends protocol for collegial dialogue was first developed by the Coalition of Essential Schools at Brown University. It has been widely used in schools by teachers and administrators since then to facilitate productive, organized reflections about best practices. Three "occasions" for reflection using the Critical Friends protocol are: (1) peer observations; (2) discussing student work using specific formats; or (3) consulting about an issue using the Consultancy Process. The basic format for collegial dialogue is the same for each: facilitator overview; presentation of observations, work or issue; clarification questions; feedback/discussion by participants; presenter reflection; debriefing of process.
