Activity #1: Last Word Protocol
Guiding Question: Based on our individual analyses completed in
Session I, what area(s) of need are most pressing for us to address
as a school community?
Last Word Protocol Steps:
Grouping: Groups of 5-7
1. Count off into groups of 5; each person will select one quote and let
members of the group know where in the text this quote can be
found. The person does not explain its significance.
2. The rest of the group discusses the quote.
3. The first person reads the significance or explains the significance
of the quote. In others words, this person gets the last word.
4. Move on to the next person until everyone I the group has had a
chance to have the last word.
5. Share out

Activity 2: Affinity Protocol
Guiding Question: Based on our individual analyses completed in “Last
Word,”, what area(s) of need are most pressing for us to address as a school
community?
Affinity Protocol Steps:
Grouping: Groups of 5-7
1. Take 5-7 sticky notes and record 1 concern raised in your
analysis on each sticky note
2. With your group, arrange the sticky notes on chart paper
3. Sort the sticky notes into groups and give each group a name
or label
4. As a group, write 1-2 sentences about the patterns/trends
5. Share out

Activity #3: Data Analysis Protocol
Step
Actions
Step 1
Look at the data and make factual statement about what
you see, wonder and patterns.
Step 2
What additional sources of data can we use to deepen our
understanding of the story behind the data?
Step 3
Now that we have the beginnings of a story, what are some
potential implications for our instructional focus for next year?
Step 4
What are some draft goals we can work towards achieving?
6
What do you see?
• Remember to stay low on the ladder of inference.
• Refrain from interpretation or drawing conclusions
Example:
• “In __________________, we have moved from
__% to __% in __ years.”
