Jigsaw Learning will partner with schools to introduce and implement Collaborative Response across the system through a comprehensive support plan. This initiative aims to ensure consistent understanding and effective application of Collaborative Response practices throughout the district.
Key components of the support plan include:
- Collaborative Response Overview Sessions: All administrators and central office leadership will participate in an in-person overview session, while all staff will engage in an online session, both led by Kurtis Hewson.
- School Leadership Team Days: Each school will form a team of 3-5 participants, including the principal, to take part in four leadership sessions focused on enhancing Collaborative Response practices.
- Leadership Consultation Support: Schools will receive up to six hours of online, individualized consultation from a Jigsaw Learning Associate to assist with ongoing implementation and refinement.
- Collaborative Team Meeting Feedback: Schools will receive tailored feedback on their collaborative team meetings in the spring.
- Collaborative Response Membership: All schools will have access to the Collaborative Response Membership, providing additional resources and ongoing professional learning support.
This comprehensive approach underscores the district’s commitment to fostering a collaborative and responsive educational environment for all students.
“We’re thrilled to support the district’s commitment to enhancing Collaborative Response practices, ensuring every school has the tools and guidance needed for a unified and effective approach,” said Kurtis Hewson, Co-Founder of Jigsaw Learning.
