This expanded second edition provides teachers and administrators with strategies and resources for working together to examine and discuss student work, such as science projects, essays, art work, math problems, and more. Providing real examples of how educators can do this, the authors describe three structured conversations, or protocols.

"The Consultancy," an additional protocol that shows groups how to address issues and dilemmas of practice using student work as evidence. A new chapter on the role of the facilitator, including techniques. A new case study focusing on the Tuning Protocol.
