When there’s a lot to teach or share, it’s tempting to do ALL the talking. But what if there was a FUN way to hand that work over to your learners?

Our newly revised "Jigsaw Protocol" gives participants the chance to break into smaller groups to explore one “piece” 🧩 of a larger topic or chunk of content, gaining some “expertise” through deeper exploration, discussion, and team collaboration 🧐, and then sharing their discoveries with everyone in the room. The “pieces” come together to create a fuller picture, making learning more engaging, collaborative, and memorable! Great to use in classrooms or with teams of colleagues!

Our "Jigsaw Protocol" was newly revised in 2026 and is available here for FREE! Download our abbreviated version of the Jigsaw Protocol as an image or a PDF on NSRF Connections, or sign up to become an Annual Member of the NSRF to find the fuller version (and much more!) in our online Members’ Protocol Library. 👍😀

"This CFG Training feels like a lifeboat to help me navigate facilitation - not only in our PLC groups but also as a leader in our department. I expected to receive tools/take-aways from the training; however, I didn't expect the variety and power of the tools, the strong connections I feel with our group, or the leadership training this provides. It is SO applicable to so many situations."

Bring a CFG Training to your school or organization this summer or in the coming 26-27 school year! Stop treading water, getting nowhere and wearing yourself out - NSRF has the lifeboat you need 🚣‍♂️
