Sneak Preview of Janie Feinberg's New Book on CoachingJanie
The First Step in the
JP Responsive Coaching Model

President and CEO of JP Associates, Janie Feinberg has been a coach (a coaching pioneer, really) for over forty years. These forty-plus years have only strengthened her belief that real change and professional development happens most effectively via onsite coaching.

"Over the years I have had numerous conversations with teachers and administrators. They speak about the many trainings they attend and the good information to which they are exposed and then they talk about how hard it is to implement those ideas when they return to their schools and classrooms," states Janie.  engage

Improving the Development & Education of Autistic Students

As the number of students with autism continues to climb, the relative number of teachers and teacher mentors prepared to work with mainstreamed students with autism declines.

Given that phenomena, JP has designed a program to provide the knowledge, practical teaching strategies and support materials needed to improve instructional techniques and classroom atmosphere. That program is IDEAS

engageSneak Preview of Janie Feinberg's New Book

"It is not that they don't want to apply this new information. They first find it difficult to identify time in their day to begin using the new information and second, they see a need for additional support that ensures they are using this new information correctly."

It is this kind of feedback that has prompted Janie to write what she calls a "practical approach to coaching." 

"You will find reference to the theory and research that supports our coaching strategies," said Janie, "but the real power of this book is the practical and easy-to-understand information that teachers and administrators can use to become effective coaches."

exploreIntroducing David Whiting 

A fan of JP for nearly fifteen years, David brings his love of education and his love of working with autism to JP and JP partners. He is greatly looking forward to expanding JP's influence in autism support for schools throughout the country. "There will soon be at least a million children with autism in our public schools, yet there is no increase in the number of teachers who know the techniques which will improve the opportunities for these kids. We need to help these educators with practical, research-based instructional techniques."
 

For the past year, David has been working with Putnam County Schools in Tennessee to translate their internal program for teaching children with autism into a training and coaching program for universal use. Currently, David is focusing on JP's IDEAS, Improving the Development and Education of Autistic Students, a program that addresses the ever-increasing need to provide solutions to schools and teachers related to autism, providing them with classroom-proven, evidence-based assistance to improve instructional practices.

 

David and his wife Sally are the proud grandparents of 15 grandchildren, ranging in age from one to eleven. They currently make their home in Williamsburg, Virginia where they enjoy the warmer side of winters and the joy of each season. They love how the area provides a variety of places for their children and grandchildren to see and experience.
