Discussion protocols are processes that help groups achieve deep understanding through dialogue (Easton 2009). Protocols can provide structures for practitioners with different interests or perspectives to interact in ways that are productive and inclusive. To best support leadership and college teams, coaches should be aware of when and how to use discussion protocols to create opportunities to advance equity dialogue and engage in responsive coaching feedback. This tool includes discussion protocol resources as well as a protocol exercise to help in preparing coaches to support colleges in equity inquiry.
