How do the structures of Collaborative Response—the meetings, tiers, and data—actually "breathe" in a middle school? In this episode, Kurtis and Lorna Hewson are joined by Jennifer Ferguson (Principal) and Ashlee Jodry (Assistant Principal) of Percy Baxter Middle School.

The team discusses the leadership moves required to build trust, how to shift teacher conversations toward solutions, and what it looks like to lead implementation when you already have a deep background in the framework.
