The mission
of the National School Reform Faculty is to foster educational and
social equity by empowering allpeople involved with schools to work collaboratively
in reflective democratic communities that create and support powerful
learning experiences for everyone.
NSRF NY complements NSRF National by networking teachers,
school administrators, staff developers and district leaders in the
New York Metropolitan area. NSRF NY convenes educational organizations
that support facilitative leadership development. NSRF-trained facilitators
develop the skills needed to form and sustain Critical Friends Groups/Study
Groups and to design and lead ongoing school- and district-based professional
development. NSRF NY participants are part of a regional and national
network. The local effort is led by New York-based nationally recognized
Lead Facilitators who convene local practitioners who share best practices
and assist others to develop and apply their skills to become NSRF
Endorsed Facilitators.
