Shifting Paradigms: Student Needs as the Driver for Learning

In episode 47 of Putting the Pieces Together, Jennifer, Lorna and Kurtis spend some time exploring the story of Principal Carolyn Jensen, who has implemented Collaborative Response in more than one school. Carolyn discusses shifting paradigms to focus on students’ needs to drive instructional practice as well as the ways in which Collaborative Response has “come to the rescue” in the current context of a large suburban high school.
