Synthesis
• How did the protocol and norms build a foundation for
professional, solutions oriented conversation?
• What did you notice about your own self (your
comments, your behavior) during this protocol? How is
that similar or different than the way you interact when
there is no intentional protocol or norms in place?
• How, if used over time, could processes like these build
schools’ capacity to engage in adaptive change?

Journal
• What is important to remember about building
solution- oriented cultures that are capable of
adaptive change?
