This partner's approach and services

Sample scopes of work
What are these scopes?
How we address equity
Our team engages in ongoing training regarding the legacy of inequities in our education system and the continued role of implicit bias, systemic racism, and ableism in the experiences of students and educators. We ground the practices on which we train teachers and leaders in rationale so that we all understand how these practices should improve learning and experience for all learners, including BIPOC students, students who identify as LGBTQ+, linguistically diverse students, and students with learning differences. When we review learning outcomes with our partners, we review subgroup outcomes to ensure our impact is equitable across lines of difference.
Why is this important?
How we build district capacity
At Jounce, we train leaders and educators to use concrete protocols and structures for module and lesson internalization, execution practice, in-class execution of curriculum, and both out-of-class and real-time coaching. By grounding all training in a set of consistent structures, we ensure partner schools, networks, and districts can continue to improve in their implementation beyond our work together.
Why is this important?
How we provide curriculum-aligned PL

Workshops

Our workshops tend to include explicit teaching of content knowledge, modeled lessons or components of lessons, and structured practice of lesson components. They are designed to lay a foundation of content knowledge and/or how a curricular component is designed to be further explored through coaching or PLCs.

Coaching

Coaching for leaders or teachers is frequent and has a heavy emphasis on modeling and practice. Coaching always includes digging into specific lessons/modules (not generic moves out of context), so that teachers or leaders may be growing their coaching or teaching move toolkit but are also building content knowledge.

PLCs

PLCs/grade team meetings/content meetings are structured experiences that include introduction of or practice with new knowledge or techniques. There is an element of collaboration and learning from all voices in the room, but it is more directed, collaborative learning rather than a facilitated share out of practices.

Consultations

Consultation with leaders includes development of content knowledge and coaching skills but is largely focused on how to implement a more systematic and data driven approach to instructional management (i.e. managing a team of instructional leaders or teachers systematically toward a set of frequently monitored outcomes).
