JP Associates, Inc. partners with schools and districts across the country to provide intensive professional development for scientifically based reading programs including Direct Instruction, classroom management, and the development of school-based teacher leaders and coaches.  For 20 years, JP’s staff of highly-experienced and expertly trained School Improvement Specialists has worked with a wide range of schools to develop internal capacity for ongoing, site-based professional development that directly impacts student learning.

Founded in 1989, JP has trained thousands of teachers and site-based coaches in the selection, assessment, and delivery of scientifically based literacy curricula, explicit instruction across the content areas, and impactful leadership development to dramatically accelerate the academic progress of every student.

JP’s services include assistance in selecting effective intervention curricula, developing programs for Responsive student assessment and grouping, student placement, pre-service training, on-site side-by-side coaching, customized after-school training sessions/workshops, site-based curriculum coach development (including our acclaimed Institute for Excellence in Education), grant-writing, leadership team development, classroom/behavior management, and administrator training and coaching.

In addition to JP’s individual work with schools implementing explicit, systematic, and research based instructional programs, JP is part of the Strategic Alliance for Education, a network of providers including Project Achieve, the Haberman Foundation, and other professional development concerns that address virtually all areas of academic and social development.
