Dialogue Guide Links

Dialogue Guides are models for conducting interactive discussions across stakeholders in States and districts. These packages make new use of dependable and publicly available information, thus reducing the need to produce new papers. Each Guide circulates a common set of source materials and suggested procedures for involving various audiences in States and districts. In this manner, stakeholders (families, practitioners, professional associations, professors, policymakers, legislators) all over the country can begin interacting in new ways around implementation issues. We will collect and share the stories of your dialogue and add your suggestions. In this way, we will build a true collaboration with stakeholders in every role and in every part of the country."
