In this episode of Leading Collaborative Response, Kurtis and Lorna Hewson sits down with Shelley Stevenson and Taryn Wellsman, the administration team from St. Theresa School in Northland School Division. Together, they explore how a dedicated leadership team can intentionally build collaboration structures directly into the school schedule, ensure every staff member has an equal voice at the table, and use data to spark meaningful action plans for student support.
This episode is a must-watch for principals, vice-principals, and instructional teams seeking practical strategies to maximize scheduling, promote shared ownership, and drive school focus using data.
