The EduProtocol Iron Chef badge is issued to individuals that have demonstrated their ability to create and implement an Iron Chef activity. The basic Iron Chef Lesson Plan is deceptively simple and has a myriad of nuances. The Iron Chef Lesson Plan can be used in nearly any grade level (with adaptation), from kindergarten all the way through adult learning. The basic conceptual layout of an Iron Chef goes like this: Each group has up to five students, each student completes one slide. That slide will contain a certain amount of academic output/writing, one or two pictures, and a secret ingredient. Students should be provided with the same amount of information they would need in order to write a paragraph at their grade level. And then there's the secret ingredient… Just like in the Iron Chef show, the secret ingredient applies to all slides, and it's basically an additional element that the students add to their slide that is very wide open and somehow thematically supports what's on the page. For instance, if students were learning about microscopes, there might be a picture of something gross or disgusting at the molecular level. If there was an Iron Chef about irony, there might be a meme or GIF that was ironic.

In K-12, what do we do? Launch kids into the syllabus, the rules and then rocket right into the content - with about the same results every year… What if there was a better way to start up your classroom? Well, there is. The EduProtocol Smart Start. As EduProtocol co-author Jon Corippo explains, “I started thinking about the way my classes came in each year and I realized that all the kooky issues (no names on papers, "lost homework", chaotic behavior) were not the previous teacher's fault. It was my fault - I hadn't properly "bootcamped" the class. Me. My fault. So I went to work....”
