How do you transition your school or organization from a culture of surviving to a culture of thriving? In this episode of the Building a Culture of Collaboration podcast, Kurtis and Lorna sit down with state and national award-winning principal, best-selling author, and leadership coach Jimmy Casas.
Jimmy shares powerful insights from his 22 years of school leadership and his best-selling books, including Culturize and Recalibrate the Culture. We dive deep into how leaders can eradicate negative undercurrents, handle difficult situations with care and dignity, and build an intentional, sustainable "drip" of collaboration that protects staff from burnout while maximizing student success.

What is Building a Culture of Collaboration?

Are you an educational leader or administrator searching for actionable strategies to build effective teams? In the Building a Culture of Collaboration podcast, Jigsaw Learning co-founders Kurtis and Lorna Hewson provide simple, purposeful tips to help you tackle meeting frustration, disengagement, and unproductive teamwork. This is your essential resource for advancing school improvement and collective efficacy.

You will find practical ideas for mastering effective meetings, where you learn the structures, roles, and agendas required to ensure your team meetings (PLCs, staff, student support) are focused and drive action. You'll discover how to shift your organization's mindset from isolated practice to powerful, shared responsibility for ALL students—this is key to teamwork and collaboration. Finally, you'll gain the leadership strategies needed to intentionally build a robust and sustainable culture that maximizes collective capacity and student success. We also talk with thought leaders outside of education, to grow our understanding of effective collaboration and teamwork.
