The National Coalition for Dialogue & Deliberation (NCDD) promotes the use of Dialogue, deliberation, and other innovative group processes to help people come together across differences to tackle our most challenging problems. Great resources to use in classrooms for democratic and deliberative Dialogue.
Hi Mary, you might be interested in the National School Reform Faculty. Professionally it is a great resource, but I have used many of the protocols in my classroom. They are great for opening up dialogs and giving students a voice in the classroom. National School Reform Faculty
