Want to Take CFG Training?

There are two ways you can be trained as a CFG coach.  One is to go to an “Open Seminar”, the other is to contract with NSRF to have an “On-Site Seminar” for your district or school.

The National Office of NSRF offers “Open Seminars” three times a year.  These seminars are attended by educators from across the country and all over the world.   Open Seminars often take place in February, July and October in Bloomington, Indiana.  (Other National Facilitators may offer open seminars at other locations, at other times of the year.)  For a list of these trainings, please see our “Upcoming Events” list below.

Attending an Open Seminar averages about $795/participant. Travel, lodging and dinners are not included. This option is best if you’d like to train single participants or small groups.

NSRF can bring our 5-day seminars to you!  These “On-Site Seminars” are specifically tailored to the particular needs of your school or district. On-Site CFG coaches training averages approximately $750 per participant for groups of fifteen. (The amount will vary depending on your location and the size of your group.)  This option is usually best if you’d like to train 10 or more people. 

NSRF can do On-Site Seminars for less than 5 days, but participants will not be qualified to be CFG Coaches at the end of the training.  NSRF National Facilitators are also available to facilitate meetings and strategic planning sessions for schools and districts that want to have efficient and effective meetings with actionable outcomes.

If you have any questions about CFG training sessions, please email us at nsrf@nsrfharmony.org or call us at 812-330-2702.

Want to be a NSRF National Facilitator?

National Facilitators are CFG coaches who are trained to facilitate 5-day CFG New Coaches Trainings, as well as other workshops, strategic planning sessions and school visits associated with NSRF. 

To become a National Facilitator you need to:

1.  Have completed a CFG New Coaches 5-Day Training to become a CFG coach.
2.  Have completed one year of coaching a CFG.  CFGs meet at least once a month for at least two hours.  You must send in agendas and notes from these CFG meetings.
3.  Have completed two CFG New Coaches 5-Day training sessions as an intern with a NSRF National Facilitator in good standing.  You must send in agendas, notes, and reflections about your performance from these training sessions.
4.  Send in a recommendation from your mentor National Facilitator that states you are ready to facilitate CFG trainings.
5.  Pay and stay current with your National Facilitator dues.

Once you become a National Facilitator, we will put you in our database as such and contact you, should we learn of work in your area.  Also, we may call upon you to do training sessions in other areas of the country.  You may hold CFG training sessions of your own (these still need to be run through NSRF).  We can advertise these trainings for you on our website.  Please contact us if you have any questions about this process at nsrf@nsrfharmony.org.
