In today's climate, an enhanced engaging and maximize teaching and learning experience are more critical than ever. As children reenter classrooms during the academic year of twenty twenty. Teachers need the tools to ensure every child has access to the very best teaching and learning experience across a broad and balanced curriculum. In January twenty twenty, front row studied the use of eighteen Juno systems across classrooms in the UK. Getting feedback from real teachers and children about impact Juno could have in their classrooms. Their findings were quite astounding by all accounts. Teachers reported impact on workload and well-being. An enhanced teaching and learning experience for all, especially in phonics, spelling, reading and writing, and so much more. So today, we'll hear from Anna Lucas about this extensive study, diving into its findings and exploring how the genome enhanced the teaching and learning experience for all of the teachers and children who took part. So hello, Anna, thank you so much for joining me. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? My name is Anna Lucas, earlier specialist, phonics expert, and children's author. Excellent. Excellent. Well, thank you again so much for joining us. And I wanna start off here. What were your initial expectations of the impact of Frontrose Juno? When commissioning your study And how do they compare to the results? In January twenty twenty, I led a case study from Fruitrow UK about the in that Lesanfield Technology Juno would have in the mainstream classroom. Before the study, I had personal experience of the use of Juno for teaching, training, and author visits, and I was aware of the impact that it could have for me personally in terms of reduced voice strain and reduction in my stress levels improving my day to day well-being. For adults and children, I have experienced and witnessed firsthand, increased attention levels, increased interaction, and an overall better teaching and learning experience for all. They were my initial expectations of the feedback with regards to the impact of Juno in the classroom. In comparison to the actual results, I was delighted to hear a similar picture to the one I've already spoken about, but I was amazed and if I'm on a somewhat shocked of a significant impact that the Juno had in such a short period of time. It was brilliant to hear the teachers wax lyrical about their Juno experience. And it should be noted that they were initially quite dubious and sceptical about using the technology. They reported so much more than we could have ever expected. The significant impact it had on EAL children and INA children, SEMD children, communication and language, children's progress and outcomes, listing and attention skills, interaction, participation, confidence, behavior in terms of challenging behavior, but also the eradication of any low level behavior. Early reading and phonics, application of phonics into reading and reading and writing, reaching the reasoning in maths, more time for teaching and learning. A better quality of work produced, reduced stress levels and fatigue, improved well-being, reduced workload, better relationships with children, and better relationships at home. One of my favorite quotes amongst many, it's like having another adult in the classroom and it was fondly referred to as the joy of Juno, a teacher's new best friend. How do you feel the use of a Juno impacted a typical key stage one mainstream classroom? From the case study findings and personal experience of the Juno in my role, I feel that the use of the Juno in the mainstream classroom has a significant impact on so many aspects. It's so hard to choose, but if I had to give you the top five, they would be these. Red reduction in voice strength and in with well-being for all, improved behavior and concentration. The quality of the relationship between adults and children and their peers The impact on teaching and learning, especially early language, phonics, reading and writing, and finally, that there's just so much more time for learning. Another one of my favorite quotes is lessons are so much more snappier, they're with you every step of the way. Of all of the teachers you surveyed, what was the most impactful statement a teacher made to you regarding their use of the genome in their classroom. Okay. So this is a really hard question to answer. So I'm going to give you my top three and that was difficult enough to decide. Well, here we go. Statement one. And so Carmen then, The Juno freed me up from the front and I could be anywhere in the room. In my class, it improved levels of learning, productivity, and the level of work produced. When I don't have my Juno, I am so sad and I really miss it. Statement two, the impact was palpable from the engagement of the children to the reduced stress and strain of my voice. Statement three, I feel like the Juno takes phonics deeper into their brains, It's as though it is as though the penny has just clicked with them and that they suddenly started to make connections with the sounds that they can hear in words and the spellings that they can see. I want two more and that's five. There's just so many. No more teacher voice, just an overwhelming sense of calm, and statement five, I really thought it was a luxury, not anymore. It seems that both students and teachers benefit from the Juno in the classroom. So what do you think the ultimate measurable results will be for UK students' learning outcomes? Okay. So there are so many ways to measure children's but I think that the most measurable impact that we have seen and that we will continue to see is the children's use of language and vocabulary. The children's work, produced, pre and post, you know, accelerated to progress in phonics and that crucial application into reading and writing, and more time for children's children to reach mastery in learning across the whole curriculum. And one more based on a quote from one of our teachers from the study. I feel calm and the children are calm. Children enjoy the lessons more. Teachers are happy, which increase relation it with children. Happyier teachers and happier children. I'm not sure you could want much more than that as an ultimate goal. There seem to be a myriad of diverse benefits for the Juno. Right? So which single benefit do you feel is the most impact Okay. So that is a very difficult question to answer and it would be tantamount to impossible to whittle it down to one. So I think you know that I'm not going to be able to choose just one, but I will give you my top three in no particular rank or priority. Well-being and mental health. I think now so much more than ever that well-being and mental health has to be an overriding priority for all. And we know hands on heart that the genome impacts positively on this area in terms of reduced stress, reduced fatigue, reduced voice strain, reduced workload, an improvement in relationship and as a mood enhancer for all as well. The positive impacts on progressing learning for EOL children, INA children, SMD, children with individual behavioral plans. And most our most vulnerable children who are working towards age related expectations and the impact that that's having on their progress to improve future life outcomes. And then finally, the impact on the accelerated progress in children's early language, phonics, and the application into reading or writing. Oh, and the love of reading too. We mustn't forget that. Okay. So they were my three, but we must remember that the use of a junior in a classroom is so impactful in so many areas. As you can read in the case study write up, but the best thing for anyone to do is experience it for themselves. When one teacher was asked if they were aware of the benefits of the Juno that the Juno could have, for children. The response was not at all. I had no idea. I just thought of it being as a speaker. I did not realize the benefits for children. One thing I will leave you with is me saying that you can't quite believe the phenomenal impacts of the Juno, that the Juno can have until you live and breathe it for yourselves. Well, Anna Lucas, thank you so much for joining us here today. We appreciate your insights and expertise. And everyone, thank you for tuning in. We'll be back soon with more content from Front Road. But until then, I've been your host today Luker. Thanks for watching.
