Peace River School Division is continuing its work with Jigsaw Learning during the 2026–2027 school year to strengthen the collaborative structures and processes that support planning and problem-solving in its schools. The partnership will focus on helping school leaders create purposeful opportunities for educators to work together around student learning and build collaborative planning into the everyday life of their schools.
School leaders from across the division will participate in online learning sessions led by Jigsaw Learning's Kurtis Hewson, with a focus on establishing effective collaborative planning structures and processes for school teams. Following these sessions, each participating school will have dedicated consultation time to explore its own context, work through questions, and receive guidance as teams put the learning into practice. Shared documents, templates, and resources will also provide leaders with practical tools they can continue to use throughout the year.
“We're looking forward to working with Peace River School Division on a very practical aspect of Collaborative Response—creating the conditions for educators to plan and learn together effectively,” said Kurtis Hewson, Lead Learner and Co-Founder of Jigsaw Learning. “When collaborative planning is intentional and well structured, it gives teams a stronger foundation for making decisions, sharing expertise, and responding to the needs of their students. This work will help schools turn that intention into sustainable practice.”
