Cheryl Richardson: Inside Teaching offers a step toward creating frameworks for learning from MRTs.  In particular, authors who created Perspectives pieces, collected and synthesized ways for teaching with and learning from MRTs.  These Perspectives introduce structures for delving into MRTs in teacher education.  I can imagine developing outlines from these Perspectives that  become succinct instructions on how to use them in different settings.
