Teachers and administrators across the country share why SPARK makes a difference in their schools.
A big thank you shout out to our SPARK family for an outstanding SPARKecademy Live virtual training experience last month. When I found out that we would have to arrange an alternative plan for our perfectly organized professional learning day, I will admit that I was devastated. Anyone who has ever experienced a SPARK training knows how life-changing it is. How could we possibly meet the expectation after last year's incredible experience? Well, our SPARK family listened and came up with the perfect plan. I can't imagine the hours that were put into making our day SPARKtacular. Each grade band was able to engage and learn from the SPARK trainer Patty as well as Julie, the Executive Director. Nothing was left out, and in my wildest dreams, I still can't believe how much content was squeezed into our time together. If you require an alternative training option, rest assured that you will not be disappointed.
