Putting the Pieces Together with Jigsaw Learning
FINAL EPISODE: Farewell Putting the Pieces Together - Merging with Leading Collaborative Response

In episode 50 of Putting the Pieces Together, the FINAL episode, Jennifer, Lorna and Kurtis reflect on the growth of Jigsaw Learning and Collaborative Response as their own advice is taken: from getting started with podcasting to share a message to taking aim by refining the focus to be definitive and purposeful in reaching the intended audiences.


Key learnings over the course of the podcast include being authentic and sharing not only the learning but the heart that went into the celebrations, the challenges, the mistakes, and the successes.


If you can take away one thing from this episode as you continue to refine and deepen your understanding, it is the hope that as you progress, you experience the cumulative effect of making a point of each and every step along the way trying to make things just a little bit better.

In episode 49 of Putting the Pieces Together, Jennifer, Lorna, and Kurtis prompt Carmen Semeniuk, Principal of Light of Christ School in Lakeland Catholic School Division to revisit the four year journey the school has been on with respect to implementing, refining, and deepening Collaborative Response. Carmen shares ideas that resonated in the process of introduction, key shifts that have made the process more efficient, support provided to the school from the divisional level, and manners in which new staff are introduced to ensure the framework is sustainable.

Collaborative Response: A Journey, Not an Event

In episode 43 of Putting the Pieces Together, Jennifer, Lorna and Kurtis connect with Jeff Thompson again, a couple of years after his initial guest spot on the show.  Jeff, now Deputy Superintendent of Peace River School Division, shares his experience in modeling Collaborative Response at the district level, his understanding of Collaborative Response as a framework on which to hang all other practices and priorities on, and his belief that Collaborative Response is a journey, not an event (and one that needs time to be played out in context).

Putting the Pieces Together with Jigsaw Learning
A Culture of Collaboration: How to Frame the Work to Support Growth Across a School Division

In episode 39 of Putting the Pieces Together, Jennifer, Lorna, and Kurtis engage in a conversation with Kristien Holtby, Director of Educational Services with Wetaskiwin Regional Public Schools.


The conversation starts and ends with hockey (GO OILERS!); however the focus is on how, at the division level, leaders can intentionally leverage the strengths and talents while focusing on achieving the collective priorities. Kristien highlights the need for productive struggle, the ability to close feedback loops by having a guiding coalition, the credibility and integrity that is fortified by working as a team of schools, and most importantly, how the work is framed to support the success of students because every child deserves a team.
