Introduction

f you've never experienced a protocol for looking at student work you may wonder what one really looks and sounds like. In this "virtual protocol," we present a Collaborative Assessment Conference (CAC) that took place this past summer at an NSRF Coaches Seminar in Dedham, Massachusetts. Included here you will find the student work, steps of the CAC, a profile of the presenting teacher, a list of participants, and excerpts from the dialogue through each step of the process.

renda Mitchell, an elementary school teacher from Philadelphia presented two pieces of writing from the same student.



Now proceed though each step of the process and experience the conversation. For each step we've included an agenda of what happens and a brief description about what the step is intended to do and why it's important.
