National School Reform Faculty

National School Reform Faculty Train to become a CFG Coach! For more information, visit NSRFharmony.org One common example of this work is a Critical Friends Group, or CFG.

NSRF has proven tools and methods you can use in classrooms, learning communities, and/or professional meetings to build trust, equity of voice, and share meaningful feedback! At the heart of NSRF’s program are the concepts of Facilitative Leadership and Critical Friendship. We have learned that Critical Friendship, an essential ingredient for learning communities, is best achieved through providing deliberate time and structures to promote adult growth that is directly linked to student learning. Facilitative Leadership skills are needed to engage school communities in this practice and are valuable for all leaders—school leaders, classroom teachers, and district administrators. This site is designed to give you information about Critical Friendship and Facilitative Leadership, keep you updated on News from the National Center and Upcoming Events, connect you nationally to NSRF Centers of Activity, and make resources available to you.

"This CFG Training feels like a lifeboat to help me navigate facilitation - not only in our PLC groups but also as a leader in our department. I expected to receive tools/take-aways from the training; however, I didn't expect the variety and power of the tools, the strong connections I feel with our group, or the leadership training this provides. It is SO applicable to so many situations."

Bring a CFG Training to your school or organization this summer or in the coming 26-27 school year! Stop treading water, getting nowhere and wearing yourself out - NSRF has the lifeboat you need 🚣‍♂️
