Testimonials
Our school staff had the privilege to work with Kurtis Hewson over three virtual sessions to explore the collaborative response structures and processes. Kurtis did a wonderful job drawing on the theory, research, and evidence-based best practices that helps create the components of the collaborative response framework. The three sessions were broken up over two professional development days and after each session our school staff became more inspired and invested in implementing the collaborative response model. Kurtis has an engaging way of presenting the material that connects to the realities of our school. He was able to promote high level conversation that helped our staff reflect on our current practices and start to look at where we want to go in the future to best support all students. The timeline of the sessions and the sequencing of the learning experiences enabled all participants to build capacity and maximize our time to collaborate with one another. As a school, we finished the learning series being able to identify our next steps for success in achieving collaborative structures and processes, effective collection and analysis of data and evidence, and how to build our own continuum of supports. We look forward to the future of utilizing this vast knowledge in our school and applying it to our structures of success for all. It has been a pleasure to work with Kurtis and we are excited for our next opportunity to work with him and the team at Jigsaw Learning. Thank you again!
