    Check out Data in Education: A Virtual Summit - bit.ly/datasummit2025

    Overview of Collaborative Response - bit.ly/CR-overview

    Introductory chapter for the book Collaborative Response (includes numerous templates and resources from the book) - bit.ly/CR-intro

    In this episode of Data and Education, I chatted with Kurtis Hewson, an award-winning educator and co-founder of Jigsaw Learning. We took a dive into Kurtis's journey from a teaching career in Northern Alberta to pioneering collaborative structures in schools. Kurtis discussed the concept of Collaborative Response and the importance of focusing on students who are close to meeting expectations, rather than just those at greatest risk. We explored the four necessary layers of team structures within schools and how data, when color-coded simply, can drive effective educational strategies. Kurtis shared insights from his book, co-authored with his wife Lorna, and highlighted the upcoming virtual summit where he will be the keynote speaker. Our conversation underscored the necessity of intentional team structures and data application in transforming educational outcomes for both students and educators.
