I had the opportunity to work with Cheryl Gascoyne for the 2018-2019 school year. During this school year, Clearview School Division was continuing its work on a massive transformation of literacy practices. Through Jigsaw Learning, we were able to access Cheryl's expertise to help us with our plan. Cheryl was an instrumental player in our journey as we worked on moving literacy forward in our division. Using our year plan, Cheryl's expertise was a welcome addition to our transformation. Cheryl was an excellent well-planned presenter as she worked in large group grade-level learning sessions.

Kurtis Hewson provided support for myself (principal) and one of my teachers in creating timetables and embedding collaboration time into the schedule. My school is very small and as such manpower resources are limited. I was intrigued by the creative process that Kurtis suggested of beginning the timetabling with the collaboration time and intervention blocks and working backward from that. Kurtis was open-minded and responsive to the unique needs of our setting and was solution-focused! My colleague and I were thrilled with the end results!! We have a workable timetable with embedded intervention blocks and collaboration time! This was truly an example of focused teamwork towards a common goal! Kurtis also spent a great deal of time with us looking at different models as to how collaborative time can be addressed, team norm and goal setting, and timelines. I could not be more appreciative of the time Kurtis spent with my colleague and I! We are looking forward to a wonderful start to next year!

Son partenariat nous permettra d'avoir des discussions riches et facilitera la mise en oeuvre de notre plan d'action pour le FrancoSud!
