Jolly Monitor
Jolly Monior is a high fidelity monitoring and mentoring system for Jolly Phonics projects that works at scale, in any context. It has been designed specifically for Jolly Futures projects.
Jolly Monitor is a technology system designed to collect & analyse huge amounts of information on Jolly Phonics projects gathered from the field, as well as support monitors with observing and mentoring teachers in Jolly Phonics, and assessing pupils. There are two components: the Jolly Monitor App and the Jolly Monitor Dashboard. Through these, effective decisions can be made by actors on all levels that will ensure better Jolly Phonics teaching and, consequently, increased literacy levels amongst pupils.
We are able to provide basic access for free to Jolly Futures projects, and scaled access at a small cost to government or implementing partners.
Jolly Monitor App
Observation Guidance
The app provides questions about the teacher and school and guides the monitor through a Jolly Phonics classroom observation
Instant Mentoring Feedback
The app provides instant feedback to the monitor on how to mentor the teacher to improve their Jolly Phonics teaching. A report can also be generated to send to the teacher.
Pupil Assessments
The app can also be used to assess individual pupils’ reading skills, using international reading tests such as the UK Government’s Phonics Screening Check or the Early Grade Reading Assessment.
Data Access
The monitor has offline access to all the data from their assigned schools, whether collected themselves or by other team members. This enables team members to follow up on visits conducted by them, or others.
Jolly Monitor Dashboard
Analyse the data collected in the visit
After the monitoring visit, the phone connects to the Internet and the data sync’s to the Jolly Monitor Dashboard, which analyses the answers to questions, for an individual project or across projects. It also displays the aggregated results from pupil assessments, which makes it simple to understand the impact of the intervention.
Apply Metrics to Data
An advanced metrics system gives us the ability to understand the data through the lens of pre-defined metrics. Metrics can be mapped to clearly demonstrate where attention should be targeted.
