Perfect Practice Makes a Man Perfect.
The Power of Protocols
I start reading ‘Protocols’, with hope that I am improving. It is echoing and reminds me of actions that need to be taken for creating culture of excellence. Till the time one gets this connection… one continues to wonder about this book.
Reading preface of the book has been very enriching, "the contradiction at the heart of ‘Protocol’ is that it has to standardize in order to liberate - What a power full insight into ‘Protocol’. Why, when, where, how of protocols becomes the learning focus and one awaits exploring them!
Reading ‘Protocols’ for me has been an enriching experience. It helped me reflect upon all my actions, successes and failures, perceived successes and perceived failures.
Take charge of our own learning. Pause periodically . Protocol based learning- making work transparent and enriching learning.
Somewhere we expect that each one of us follows certain protocols, we have certain expectations from conversations, meetings, class room practices…. this book helps us to look at how to make oneself accountable for protocol and "talk" successfully with one another.
“The journey from outer self to inner self - how basic ideas get converted to learning and facilitating… understanding that all of us have capacity to be the facilitator, we need coaching, mentoring and refining these skills. Facilitator- someone empowered by the role or opportunity to do these things, have more energy for making decisions they must and for reflecting on the results.” – The Power of Protocols.
“Facilitating is about promoting participation, ensuring equity, and building trust. What is being a competent facilitator…… facilitator is not just encouraging cordiality…….openness to others experiences builds openness to others perspectives." (Page 16)
This is helping me to challenge my earlier beliefs. My interactions with students and with my team, I am not only conscious, but I also ensure that participation is being promoted. Be it a classroom situation or a triage meeting or meeting with parents/ other stakeholders.
This book is like a recipe book! It has Protocols for all situations in learning environments. Each Protocol has history and a future! Each protocol gives reader a chance to find situations in which the same can be used, be it for class room management, dealing with students, working with students and other stakeholders. The book will work as a guideline, manual and it has solutions for most of the situations.
Analysis of Student work (Page 57)
After reading this book, I put myself in the category of new teachers, those who are in the first year category!
My Questions:- How does one master the art of Protocol? Will the impact of following Protocols be same, though I am not expert as yet? How will I ensure that this is not a “one of those good initiatives”!! and gets lost in transit…
