Jounce Stands Out Amongst Peers
Jounce's coaching philosophy is much more than simply applying certain techniques. Our Partner Schools get wrap-around instructional leadership support that is contextualized to their needs and extends from applying scienctific teaching best-practices, to curriculum implementation, building content knowledge, and developing instructional leadership teams.
Jounce coaching is holistic and aimed towards empowering schools to support their students by developing robust instructional leadership. We provide much more support than other teacher coaching organizations focused primarily on applying specific techniques in classrooms.
“Their approach to math support was not, ‘Oh, here’s the problem. Let me figure out one solution to fix that problem’. Rather, it’s really overarching and says, ‘Here is what we believe to be the best approach for leaders and teachers to build content knowledge so that students have a bigger understanding, which is going to make them more effective.’ That is what really resonates with me.”
“There are a lot of people who are doing this work, right? There’s a bunch of different frameworks, there’s Teach Like a Champion, there’s about a zillion. You can talk about all the different frameworks, Skillful Teacher, Get Better Faster, Danielson, and all the rest. The thing I like about Jounce is that it is very very actionable, and it’s very tailored to whatever the teacher needs.”
“Usually, PD’s are not supportive. Usually, people that have come in to offer help and support have been less than helpful. Our central coaching has not been great, and I’ve been here for 15 years, but last year, Jounce coaching was the most rewarding experience. I was shocked. It fundamentally has changed how I support my teachers in reading.”
