Critical Friends Group Summer Coaches Institute
 
“…the catalyst for changes in the teaching, learning, culture, and climate of learning communities in a variety of schools…”
Bambino, D. (2002). Redesigning Professional Development: Critical Friends. Educational Leadership, 59(6), 25-27.
 
Critical Friends Groups (CFGs) are collaborations that help their members think about better teaching practices, establish and publicly state student learning goals, look closely at curriculum and student work, and identify school culture issues that affect student achievement. Designed by the National School Reform Faculty (NSRF), CFGs give teachers opportunities to explore their own practice and that of their peers in supportive environments. Join us this summer as we take another step forward in supporting professional learning communities in Georgia schools.
