Led by a designated peer facilitator, guiding questions in this protocol are intended to enrich teacher collaboration to learn to improve instructional conversations so that every student has the opportunity to participate meaningfully. Stages of this process include:
- PLAN: As a team, decide on the ICEP domain of focus. Work together to plan and prepare lessons focused on specific learning goals and ICEP practices that you chose. Predict what will happen as a result of the lesson.
- DO: Implement the ICEP lesson that you planned in your classroom. Decide how team members will observe it, including who will observe and when. The observed teacher should have the strongest voice in making these decisions.
- ANALYZE: Examine evidence to determine how well student learning goals and ICEP predictions were realized. Debrief what went well and why and what specifically from the lesson needs further work.
- REVISE: Identify changes needed to meet shared goals and reasons for changes. Decide together whether and how to adjust goals for the next cycle.
