About More Than Words Inc. Massachusetts, United States

Biblio member since 2016

More Than Words empowers youth who are in foster care, court-involved, homeless or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. MTW believes that when system-involved youth are challenged with authentic and increasing responsibilities in a business setting, and are given high expectations and a culture of support, they can and will address personal barriers to success, create concrete action plans for their lives, and become contributing members of society. More Than Words began as an online bookselling training program for youth in DCF custody in 2004 and opened its vibrant bookstore on Moody St in Waltham in 2005 and added its Starbucks coffee bar in 2008. MTW replicated its model in the South End of Boston in 2011, thereby doubling the number of youth served annually.

From the publisher

Since the publication of the first edition, the use of protocols has spread from conferences and workshops to everyday school and university settings. Responding to educators' ongoing needs, this new edition features seven totally new protocols. This teaching and professional development tool is essential for anyone working with collaborative groups of teachers on everything from school improvement to curriculum development to teacher education at all levels. Featuring a diverse selection of protocols, this book includes:

  • Step-by-step descriptions of how educators can use protocols to study together, work on problems of practice, teach well, and explore students' work.
  • Explanations of the particular purpose for each protocol, discussions of the value that educators have found in using them, and helpful tips for facilitators.
  • A free supplement on the Teachers College Press website with "Abbreviated Protocols" that can be downloaded and customized to suit each facilitator's needs.

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITON!

"The Power of Protocols embeds powerful, inquiry-oriented professional learning tools within a high-performance workplace to enable schools to successfully teach all students to high standards."

--Dennis Sparks, Executive Director, National Staff Development Council

"This book offers creative yet practical paths to professional growth that can improve the practice of teachers and the collaborative growth of a whole faculty."

-- Robert Evans, author of The Human Side of School Change

"I found the idea of protocols and their suggested application to be well conceived and articulated by the authors." -- NASSP Bulletin

"I deeply appreciate the way this guide helped to enlarge my understanding of protocols and deepen my sense of their efficiency in teaching practice."

--Horace, Quarterly Journal of CES

"I was persuaded by colleagues to give the protocols at least a chance. And what a revelation they proved to be!"

-- Harris Sarney, High School Principal

"Using provocative texts and a variety of protocols is one way to hold ourselves accountable to each other and accountable for the success of our students."

-- Camilla Greene, Professional Developer

"Using a simple protocol, students speak in turn, first describing the work and then offering interpretive observations. The benefits of using the protocol are immediately evident."

--Eric Baylin, Teacher
