Putting the Pieces Together with Jigsaw Learning

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.---------Connect with Kurtis Hewson Email kurtis.hewson@jigsawlearning.ca Twitter @hewsonk27 LinkedIn https://ca.linkedin.com/in/kurtishewson Connect with Lorna Hewson Email lorna.hewson@jigsawlearning.ca Twitter @LornaHewson Linked In https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorna-hewson-713a59104Connect with Jennifer Ferguson Email jennifer.ferguson@jigsawlearning.ca Twitter @_MrsFerguson_ Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-dickson-ferguson/ ---------Related ResourcesOverview of Collaborative Response Articlehttps://www.jigsawlearningonline.com/cr-overviewOverview of Collaborative Response Videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tbgetTdAiALeading Collaborative Response YouTube Playlisthttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKI9IljOtfua8SF1on-xGuRBLi-l2lssFLeading Collaborative Response Podcasthttps://leadingcollaborativeresponse.transistor.fm/Building a Culture of Collaboration YouTube Playlisthttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKI9IljOtfuZ86oOuNYOtxBp_X6n2zkSv Building a Culture of Collaboration Podcasthttps://cultureofcollaboration.transistor.fm/  Access the First Chapter of the Corwin Best Selling Book Collaborative Response: Three Foundational Components that Transform How We Respond to the Needs of Learnershttps://www.jigsawlearningonline.com/book-introduction Coupon Code for Collaborative Response: Three Foundational Components that Transform How We Respond to the Needs of LearnersJLPodcast10Schedule a Conversation about WeCollabhttps://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/selfsched?sstoken=UUZjYXptWUlfM0t4fGRlZmF1bHR8ZTI3NTZlY2QxYWQ1YmEzNDgyOGJhZTRiOGU2ZDViMGI---------🔔 Don't forget to subscribe and click the little bell icon to be notified when @jigsaw_learning posts a new video! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3U_RKp7yxQhckpKaQur7owJigsaw Learning is a team of educators who work with schools, districts and educational leaders to establish collaborative learning structures that ensure success for all students, because every child deserves a team.Learn more about Jigsaw Learning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4rT_D9RCEYLearn more about Collaborative Response https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N0DixUVI5AExplore the book Collaborative Response https://www.jigsawlearning.ca/publications/published-works/collaborative-response-model/collaborative-response-three-foundational-components-transform-how-we-respond-needs-learners Learn more about WeCollabhttps://wecollab.ca Become a JL Insider to receive access to newly added resources and video content, advance notice for sessions/workshops, discounts for learning events and resources, plus so much more! https://jigsawlearning.us11.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=26e5468f36f0a7091138209d1&id=fcc390350aJoin the Facebook Group “The Collaborative Leader”, to engage in further conversations and resource sharing with others dedicated to ensuring effective teams and collaborative structures - https://www.facebook.com/groups/thecollaborativeleaderWebsite https://jigsawlearning.caEmail questions@jigsawlearning.caTwitter https://www.twitter.com/Jigsaw_LearningFacebook https://www.facebook.com/JigsawLearningAB/LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/jigsaw-learning-incMusic: “Jigsaw” has been composed, recorded, and produced by Trent Ferguson for Putting the Pieces Together with Jigsaw Learning.Images: Visuals included in this video not generated under agreement with Jigsaw Learning Inc. have been carefully selected under Creative Commons for their permissions.
