Jigsaw Learning Partners with New Brunswick Schools to Strengthen Collaborative Practices

Jigsaw Learning is partnering with the New Brunswick Department of Education and Early Childhood Development to introduce the Collaborative Response framework to a cohort of schools across the province.

Through a coordinated network framework, participating schools will build a shared understanding of Collaborative Response and explore how collaborative structures, data, and responsive supports can strengthen their approach to meeting the needs of learners.

Each school will establish a School Leadership Team, including the principal, that will participate in an introductory session followed by ongoing professional learning and individualized consultation throughout the year.

Leadership teams will also receive Jigsaw Learning’s book, Collaborative Response: Three Foundational Components That Transform How We Respond to the Needs of Learners, along with access to the Collaborative Response Membership for continued professional learning, resources, and tools.

“We are excited to work alongside educators in New Brunswick as they strengthen collaboration and develop sustainable approaches to supporting learners,” says Kurtis Hewson, Lead Learner and Co-Founder of Jigsaw Learning. “This partnership is designed to move beyond professional learning sessions and support schools in embedding collaborative practices into their everyday work.”

Jigsaw Learning looks forward to learning alongside New Brunswick educators and supporting participating schools throughout their Collaborative Response journey.
