KIPP Philadelphia Elementary Academy
In 2023-24, Jounce partnered with KIPP Philadelphia Elementary Academy (KPEA) with a focus on coaching Assistant Principals and building content knowledge among the instructional leadership team. KPEA saw the strongest growth in their history through that work together.
10 point increase in math proficiency between 2023 and 2024.
7 point increase in ELA proficiency between 2023 and 2024.
“Since partnering with Jounce, our school has produced more student learning growth than ever before...We’re making the right moves. As hard as my team and I worked, we could not have made those gains without Jounce because they knew the curriculum, they took time to dive in, and they also ran content team meetings with my teachers and alongside my APs, so that APs were learning from them, and felt supported by them. And then teachers were brought in so it was a layer effect.”
“We had two teachers develop the highest math growth rates in our region for third and fourth grade, thanks to their Jounce coaching.”
“Our retention is the highest in the region. We have a lot of veteran teachers and some less seasoned Assistant Principals, and Jounce helped us because our teachers were becoming stagnant in their development. With Jounce’s support, our APs felt more supported in understanding the next best high leverage moves, and then teachers felt better because they were learning new things and developing again.”
