Some students' communication styles and funds of knowledge are not typically leveraged in classrooms. Robust talk structures, such as discussion protocols, allow more students to join the conversation confidently. Discussion protocols are procedures that provide a structure and process, so everyone has time to think, talk, and listen. This resource will introduce discussion protocols that can help instructors ensure equitable participation and create more culturally responsive discussions. Questions addressed:
- WHY equity protocols?
- WHAT are discussion protocols?
- HOW do I effectively implement discussion protocols?
