Are you a school leader feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of starting Collaborative Response? In this episode, Jennifer Baeta, Assistant Principal at St. Bonaventure Catholic Elementary School, joins Kurtis and Lorna to share her school's journey of starting small to achieve big cultural shifts.
Jennifer discusses how moving from small administrative huddles to inclusive, school-wide conversations has fostered a sense of belonging, shared leadership, and trust.
In this conversation, you’ll hear about:
The power of taking small, intentional steps when beginning Collaborative Response.
Transitioning from admin-led groups to whole-staff engagement.
Prioritizing teacher well-being as a driver for student success.
Applying a trauma-informed lens to leadership and staff support.
Meet Jennifer at the Summit! Jennifer will be presenting her session, "Every Voice Matters: The Organic Growth of Collaborative Response," at our upcoming Collaborative Response Summit. 👉 Learn more at https://www.jigsawlearning.ca/events/retreat
