What are EduProtocols?
EduProtocols are lesson shells into which you insert your curriculum to teach more effectively and deliver more engaging content. We want to see kids collaborating, creating, critically thinking, ad communicating (the Four C's), and we want you to know that you can use these ideas to change your classroom!
EduProtocols can be used with any subject, any grade level, kindergarten through adult.
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 Universal Design for Learning (UDL) friendly format.

Getting Started: What is Smart Start?
"Smart Start is the process of setting aside the curriculum in order to build a culture at the beginning of the year. The focus is on teaching kids how to learn, using things like Frayer Models and Venn Doiagrams on fun subjects to get them ready for the year. As you scaffold fun into the curriculum, students develop a sense of belonging and you'll find that you'll reap the benefits all year long!"

Smart START Guiding Principles
Smart START Guiding Principles
Smile: Keep it light, keep it fun, and maintain the fast-for ward pace.
Teach: Instruct students to finish on time. One of the main principles of Smart Start is that the activity is almost always timed. At the end of the time, the teacher moves on to the next step. If students are talking and not finishing on time, that is your cue to shorten the time, not lengthen it. Students will learn to finish.
Activities: Activities should be designed to develop the culture along with tech skills so the focus can be on both content and creativity.
Routines: Routines will be developed through the cycle of the Smart Start activities. Keep them structured, yet fluid and flexible. The rest follows naturally.
Target Barriers: Everybody learns everybody’s name. And find other commonalities among classmates to break down the barriers between student cliques and groups.
For the Teacher: Observe and learn the learning styles and needs of your students. We’ve provided some of our favorite Smart Start activities in the following chapters. In addition, many team-building activities can be adapted for classroom use so all students can participate. Keep in mind the Smart Start Guiding Principles as you search for activities and plan your lessons.
