Classroom protocols collected within this volume are examples of the protocols from grade 5 developed by the ethnographers associated with Special Study A: "An Ethnographic Study of the Forty Classrooms of the Beginning Teacher Evaluation Study." Twenty teachers at both the second and fifth grades were observed for one week by an ethnographer who observed the teaching of reading and mathematics. Field notes were dictated and transcribed into formal protocols. In addition, informal protocols were developed from informal observations such as conversations with teachers or students. A summary profile for each classroom was developed. Protocols in this volume were selected from several classrooms. (Author)
