We develop and then provide educators with an ever-growing library ofĬollaboration and communication tools called ‘protocols.’ Those who already know NSRF® protocols and Critical Friends Group® work understand that this is exactly what our organization has been doing for more than 20 years. Real-world problems, ask probing questions, and discover the difference between assumptions and facts. Protocols offer structures that guide groups to collaboratively solve Strong communication skills, cross-cultural understandings, and productive collaboration.īecause protocols can be used whenever a group of people needs to work together in an efficient and effective manner, they become go-to tools for project-based learners. Protocols ensure that all voices in the group are heard and valued and promote In doing so, they tap into the brain’s capacity for creativity, visualization, and analysis. Processes (as opposed to the ‘fast’ reactive thinking of the brain). Protocols give time for active listening and reflection, thereby engaging the brain’s ‘slow’ critical thinking The structured processes and guidelines of protocols support meaningful, efficient communication, problem-solving, and learning. Working together over a significant amount of time to solve actual problems, answer complex questions, and develop both critical and creative thinking skills. Schools design Project-Based Learning (PBL) because the process helps engage students in learning and helps them develop necessary real-world skills such as collaboration, problem-solving, and the use of technology.
