About the Book: Design Smarter. Work Less. Transform More.

"The EduProtocol Design Manual" empowers educators to move beyond being consumers of educational frameworks to becoming designers of their own powerful learning experiences. While previous books have introduced the EduProtocol framework, this groundbreaking guide is the first to demystify the design process itself, revealing how any teacher can create custom EduProtocols that transform their classroom practice.

Drawing on 25 years of classroom experience, author Mark Wallace shares his journey from skeptical observer to enthusiastic practitioner to innovative designer. He demonstrates that EduProtocol design isn't reserved for educational "superstars" but is accessible to every educator willing to look at their teaching through a new lens.

This comprehensive manual walks readers through the essential elements that make EduProtocols effective—from integrating multiple standards into cohesive frameworks to building authentic feedback loops and incorporating youth culture elements that resonate with students. Practical chapters on visual design fundamentals and student-centered creation provide teachers with the tools they need to develop engaging, repeatable learning frameworks.

The heart of the book showcases six original EduProtocols with complete documentation of their iterative development process—revealing both the successes and stumbles that led to their final form. These candid case studies demystify the creation process and provide valuable templates for teachers' own design work.

"The EduProtocol Design Manual" fosters a sustainable approach to teaching that reduces preparation time while deepening student engagement. The book culminates with a clear pathway for teachers to submit their original designs to be recognized and shared with the global EduProtocol community.
