Jigsaw Learning is excited to share it will once again be engaging with the leaders of Northern Gateway Public Schools for the upcoming school year. This partnership marks the eleventh year of ongoing partnership, aimed at sustaining Collaborative Response across all schools in the division to ensure success for students, staff and the greater educational community, as well as the development of a robust Quality Learning Environment across the system.
As part of the engagement, our Jigsaw Learning team will be providing the following supports:
- Refining and deepening of the NGPS Quality Learning Environment
- Individualized support for school leaders to refine and deepen Collaborative Response structures and processes in their own schools, taking into account individual school and community contexts.
- Establishing a plan to support inclusive services, through professional learning, coaching and other consultation services to align Inclusive Education services with the Collaborative Response and Quality Learning Environments structures already in place.
I am so excited for the ongoing Collaborative Response initiatives within Northern Gateway Public Schools. I commend school and divisional leaders for their profound commitment to implementing Collaborative Response strategies throughout all schools, aligning them with divisional goals and ensuring the success of every student. NGPS has truly integrated Collaborative Response as the central focus of their efforts and are striving to sustain a Quality Learning Environment in each and every school across the division!
