Here is what our clients are saying about us!
"All of our schools met AYP
for the 2008-2009 school year. Last year we had 1
unacceptable, 14 acceptable, and 4 recognized schools. This year we have
0 unacceptable, 8 acceptable and 11 recognized schools. Two of those are
our ninth grade campuses. We are very excited about the improvements."
"I wanted to write and let you know that this past year our school
made AYP. This is the first time we were able to achieve this goal. Our
school was visited 7 times by a JSA trainer. The trainer worked with me,
our leadership team, and goal teams to develop strategies to help us
stay on track to achieve our goals."
"The organization
not only talks Continuous Improvement, they demonstrate CI in all
products and trainings."
"JSA trainers offered strong substance related content activities
directly tailored for our school. They were positive and yet maintained
a strong driven effort to help us to be successful. Positive, directed
training, and best practice examples!"
“Continuous improvement is such a simple process which can make such an
overwhelming difference. Our JSA consultant helped us all see the
importance of including students in setting a goal, developing a mission
statement, and displaying the results. Everyone walked away from the
training believing that it was worth the two days spent and the
evaluations were glowing for the job our consultant did in helping us
understand what it is and how it will improve our classrooms, and our
district.”
"I am very pleased with the training we receive - but also feel that the
follow-up coaching sessions are top notch. It's rare that you receive
face-to-face training/coaching sessions - and to have them ongoing over
the course of the school year is terrific."
“JSA has a great variety of trainers with different backgrounds. The
on-the-job experiences that each of the trainers brings to the training
makes them extremely knowledgeable and credible. Also there is truly a
commitment to serving others. Unlike many organizations who are just
concerned with making money, JSA has a real generosity of spirit in
helping others be successful.”
"There is not another publisher that can pull together the PDSA into
teacher language. What sets JSA apart from others is their ability to
make connections between the systems approach and professional learning
communities and other district initiatives. Materials make things clear
at a variety of levels. The trainer takes time to get to know about us
and is very well prepared.
“As a school in corrective action we were not given a choice whether we
wanted Baldrige training or not. Now we are so glad for it…and we had a
great trainer.”
“The quality of JSA's trainers is their greatest strength. All of the
trainers we’ve worked with are so professional and knowledgeable. Our
district has used other Baldrige training companies and the other
providers were not nearly as good.”
“The professionalism of the presenter was a major contributor to the
success of this training. The materials were clear, concise, and on
target. The training was relevant to the needs of those who attended.
The teachers were impressed with the level of knowledge of the
presenter.”
"JSA's
greatest strength is that they are true believers in Continuous
Improvement. They do not operate as the all-knowing experts, but share,
partake and learn with the rest of us. Building capacity is their main
goal, and they offer many services to help get there.'"
"JSA consultants are very knowledgeable, as well as sensitive to the
needs of the people they work with. They know how to answer concerns
with practical ways of addressing them. Also, when they leave, you have
an action plan without feeling overwhelmed." "The value of working with JSA comes from the knowledge of the trainers.
They have the ability to match trainers with the needs of the group
(High School audience with trainer who has HS background.) The
materials are excellent and JSA continually updates them to make them
better."
"The
JSA Approach, including the excellent support from our JSA coach, is the
most practical and relevant training I have seen to address continuous
improvement in our notoriously conservative educational bureaucracy."
"JSA has
wonderful down to earth consultants that tailor their presentations to
the needs of the school and workshop participants." |
