NSRF Mission

The mission of the National School Reform Faculty is to foster educational and social equity by empowering all people involved with schools to work collaboratively in reflective democratic communities that create and support powerful learning experiences for everyone. adopted June 2001

The National School Reform Faculty (NSRF) is rooted in four beliefs:

• Working together, teachers and administrators can make real and lasting improvements in their own schools.
• Teachers and administrators must help each other turn theories into practice and standards into actual student learning.
• The key to these efforts is the development of a "professional learning community" based on public, collaborative examination of both adult and student work.
• Practitioners need quality time and sustained support to create this community.
