The 4 Shifts are not new, but extremely important. Authentic Work is probably the shift that stands out most to me. It's odd how many non-relevant tasks traditional curriculums ask of students. Teachers need to own the role of curriculum designers and not depend upon any given curriculum to meet all 4 shifts

I appreciate the information and activity. This shows us how easily we can increase engagement and interest within the lessons we already have. The activity was low pressure and engaging. Thank you!

My biggest takeaway was how easy it is to make a small change to improve a existing lesson. Even if it is already engaging and relevant, you can always improve it with one or more of these shifts.

Any lesson really can be enhanced by the four lenses

Takeaway: Easy way for a teacher or a team to revamp "tired" lessons.

Welcome to the resource page for the 4 Shifts Protocol (formerly known as trudacot), a discussion protocol intended to help facilitate educator conversations about deeper learning, greater student agency, more authentic work, and rich technology infusion! The 4 Shifts Protocol is being used by teachers, principals, instructional coaches, and technology integrationists all over the world to make lessons, units, and instructional activities richer, more robust, and more relevant for the global innovation society in which we now live.

The 4 Shifts Protocol has been released with and help us make it better. Even better, share out using the #4shifts hashtag!
Versions of the protocol Why buy the book when the protocol is free?!
Our book, Harnessing Technology for Deeper Learning, takes a deep dive with the protocol. In the book we provide eight concrete examples of lesson and unit (re)design so that you can see the protocol in practice across various grade levels and subject areas. The book is aimed squarely at practitioners and their day-to-day instructional (re)design needs. We also explain in the book why we think the protocol is a great complement to SAMR, TPACK, RAT, PIC-RAT, and the Arizona and Florida Technology Integration Matrices. And we include numerous tips and suggestions for using the protocol in your school(s)!

Resources (please share with us your own resources and how you're using the protocol!)
