Testimonials

Jigsaw Learning is such a valuable community. Kurtis and Lorna have created a culture of collaboration and sharing. The Collaborative Response is a continual journey and I feel so supported in that journey as a leader. Each time I attend PL with Jigsaw Learning, I walk away with one new small shift I can use to improve my practice. So many resources and supports at your fingertips!!

We have had an excellent partnership with Jigsaw Learning since August 2018, and the timeliness and quality of supports provided to division-level and school-based staff since that time has been outstanding!

While we have had the opportunity to work with Kurtis Hewson at the divisional level in terms of understanding the big picture structures of Collaborative Response, it was his visit to our school that refined the daily processes and procedures that we needed to get the most out of planning and team meetings.

Kurtis, Lorna and the entire Jigsaw Learning team consistently provide transformative support that that is rigorous, concrete and tailored to our context. Jigsaw's commitment to our students, families and communities is evident in their professional and caring approach to all that they do for and with our staff.

Working with the Jigsaw team has been a wonderful experience. The opportunity to receive feedback regarding our work with regards to Collaborative Response at the school has provided us with the opportunity to gain clarity and outline some potential next steps for our school.
