Celebrate a major milestone with us! In our 100th episode of Leading Collaborative Response, Kurtis and Lorna Hewson sit down with a true legend in the field of education, Dr. Jim Parsons.

As a Professor Emeritus with 41 years at the University of Alberta and a co-author of the first-ever book on Collaborative Response, Jim brings a unique blend of academic rigor and heartfelt wisdom. We dive into the history of the movement, the power of Action Research, and how his 'failed retirement' led him to become a top NHL commentator.
