13th
Annual NSRF Winter
Houston, Texas
January 15-17, 2009
Welcome to
the National School Reform Faculty (NSRF) a professional development initiative
that focuses on developing collegial relationships, encouraging reflective
practice, and rethinking leadership in restructuring schools -- all in
support of increased student achievement.
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. One common example of this work is a Critical
Friends Group, or CFG.
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.
