 * My view of our group history and development**

Interested in what the Harvard collaboration and MLV meant; clueless in the beginning, lots of questions with no easy answers; intrigued by marathon video, paper airplane making, parent group meetings; experiences helped me start to understand; many learning experiences in the group; importance of structure (Mara and Mo); sharing our insights and learning with other parents and the greater community (MLV exhibits, Dispatch); struggle to keep the parent group going, find out why


 * Protocols**

amazing tools; opening windows into the learning process (vs. product); like taking in the sight, sounds, smells through a window as opposed to just seeing a picture of the view; connecting teachers, students, parents "see the learning" steps: test or worksheet (facts they know) -> exhibit of project (what they worked on) -> protocol of exhibit (deepest insights in all the learning involved) perfect tool to show what Wickliffe is all about; Wickliffe 100 future - try to keep it going; teach parents to do it for other parents
