CRITICAL FRIENDS GROUPS, June 17-21, 2012

Discover the power of Critical Friends Groups for your school, department, or group and become a certified trained coach / facilitator in this five-day institute -- and enjoy the beauties of Athens!

A Critical Friends Group is a form of a professional learning community made up of educators who share a commitment to professional growth, collaboration, and improvement of student learning.  "In 1994, the Annenberg Institute for School Reform designed a different approach to professional development, one that would be focused on the practitioner and on defining what would improve student learning."

Since 2000, Critical Friends Groups Trainings have been coordinated by the National School Reform Faculty (NSRF) at the Harmony Education Center in Bloomington, Indiana. The Director of NSRF, Michelle Mattoon, will be conducting the training on our campus.
