This five-day, on-site training provides educators with proven tools for developing a collaborative culture that fosters professional learning and raises student achievement. New CFG Coaches Training offers an opportunity to master the fundamentals of CFG coaching by experiencing them firsthand, as part of a cohort of like-minded professionals from a variety of environments.

Five full days of intensive, collaborative learning!

By the end of the training, participants will:

  • Embrace adult learning in service of equitable student outcomes
  • Develop and deepen facilitation skills
  • Know how to “mine” texts for deeper learning
  • Understand how to match protocols to particular examples of student and adult work
  • Know how to give and receive productive feedback on professional practice
  • Have a plan for launching CFG communities at their school or district
  • Receive certification as CFG coaches by The National School Reform Faculty

The registration fee for the week is $999 per seat. Participants will each receive a copy of the CFG Coaches’ Handbook, one 12-pack of Collaborative Cue Cards to bring back to share with your school or organization, and a year-long coaches’ membership in the NSRF with full access to the coaches’ online protocol library as well as email and phone support from your training facilitator and NSRF.
