Dialogue Guides are models for conducting interactive discussions across stakeholders. Each Guide circulates a common set of source materials and suggested procedures for involving various audiences in States and districts. In this manner, stakeholders all over the country can begin interacting in new ways around implementation issues. Each dialogue guide title has questions written specifically for a target audience by representatives of that audience. These are the foundation guides to create dialogue on RTI.
