Somers Research Protocols
Through the involvement of teachers, library media specialists, instructional technology specialists, and curriculum leaders, Somers has designed four Research Protocols which guide students through the research process.
Research Protocols All of the protocols follow a research process, are guided by questions, and incorporate language and expectations appropriate to their respective student audiences.
