Collaborative Teams with Kurtis Hewson

from The Principal's Handbook Hosted by Barb Flowers

In this episode, Barb talks with Kurtis Hewson about what makes collaborative teams truly effective and how principals can build a culture where teachers solve problems together. Kurtis shares simple meeting structures that increase psychological safety and shared ownership, like clear norms, roles, and a predictable agenda. He breaks down the “Collaborative Team Meeting” format that helps teams focus on key issues, swap strategies, and leave with one clear action to try. You’ll also learn how this approach connects PLCs and MTSS and reduces reactive meetings over time.
