NSRF Protocols and Activities

Since 1994, the National School Reform Faculty has created and refined more than 200 protocols and activities to use in Critical Friends Group® communities, classrooms, meetings, and beyond. Each one is designed to help you arrive at a specific desired outcome, efficiently and effectively.

Recently, we have refined our best, older “original” protocols and made them available to you as a print and digital book! We also offer several of these refined protocols and activities for FREE below for our site visitors! We plan to provide new free resources on a regular basis throughout the year.
