Welcome to the materials section of the National School Reform Faculty website. Here you will be able to find protocols and supporting materials for use in your Critical Friends Group (CFG) and for use as your practice grows as a facilitative leader. If you are a CFG coach and are unsure if you are connected to the NSRF National Center, please call us at 812-334-8379 or email your query to nsrf@nsrfharmony.org. We're happy to assist members and CFG coaches in the selection and use of our tools and resources.

Protocols are less effective and can be counter-productive when used outside of established groups or are led by people who are not trained. Please be aware that their use outside of an established context might not reflect the potential power of protocols, CFGs, and facilitative leadership. For the best results, consider being trained as a CFG coach.

Although there are a plethora of uses for these protocols and activities, we've organized some of them into logical groupings below and in the navigation bar on the left. If you have any trouble downloading, please go to the help page.

We'd also like to encourage people who use a wide range of protocols often to consider purchasing a CD-ROM of the entire collection of NSRF Protocols for only $10 plus shipping. The CD saves considerable time, so you may open a variety of protocols for review simply and quickly without an internet connection or the time and effort to download.
