“The great thing is, they’ve established a template. So we can be consistent, we can be accurate, we can be informative, and this should be something that will be a staple of my sports reporting classes and commentary classes.”
-J.A. Adande, Director of Sports Journalism, Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism

“It was an excellent presentation. The speakers were great, the pace was great, the examples were great, and I loved how interactive it was. Very informative, very interesting, very helpful.”
-Susannah Sudborough, Student, Boston University College of Communication

“It was a worthy endeavor. It provided a results-oriented and positive learning experience for attendees.”
-Mark Condron, Professor, Full Sail University’s Dan Patrick School of Sportscasting

We partnered with Qstream, an interactive spaced-learning platform with a proven track record in improving performance in the healthcare and sales industries, to develop a set of questions to test concussion reporting knowledge. Students at collaborating schools take a CLF-provided and Qstream-developed challenge to test their knowledge on the basics of concussion, how to properly describe concussions, what should happen during in-game concussion evaluations, and what to expect after a concussion is diagnosed. Students are given the challenge before and after the Concussion Reporting Workshop to assess the growth in their concussion reporting fluency. In our first year, students at our partner schools grew their concussion reporting fluency by an average of 44% from pre to post-test.
