In this article, the authors describe their experiences in working with superintendents, principals, assistant principals, and teacher-leaders in New York City, embedding NSRF work into all their professional development efforts, and how responsive facilitation and using NSRF's principles of reflective practice, collaboration, and shared leadership can be effective means of working with educators to create respectful, thoughtful, and safe conditions, and an environment in which collaboration enhances learning. Here, the authors provide examples of how the principles and practices of NSRF have been applied and adopted in New York City. The value of protocols and the recognition that skilled peer facilitation is important are becoming mainstream rhetoric in New York City. A few examples of the way NSRF-NY works are described.
