Critical Friends

Most of our team members are experiencing CFG training and I am delighted for I believe it will bring a new dimension to our work. I'm inspired to contact my first CFG group members and renew our energy for the process. The joy of looking at student work, to help teachers refine their day to day practice is rewarding and I miss those opportunities to impact instruction in a real dynamic way.

By having more of our group knowledgeable the variety of protocols and their many purposes, I think it will be easier to adhere to the guidelines. Lack of familiarity with the true process often led to abreviated use which always made me cringe.

We can now move beyond Text based, final word, and tunning protocols and move to hopefully some of the ones that really focus on refining our work.
