Transform Practice. Lead Change. Document Impact.

Teachers are, at their best, the architects and facilitators of incredible learning experiences. SPARK Teacher Fellowships empower your educators to design, launch, and scale transformative classroom projects through personalized, competency-based professional learning.

⛰️ The Challenge

Too many PD programs treat teachers as passive recipients. SPARK recognizes your educators as the innovators they are.

✅ The Solution: A 7-Session Cohort Experience for Your Team

Design → Implement → Reflect → Share → Scale

Your teachers engage in hands-on work that directly impacts their students while building a portfolio of evidence-based practice:

Launch transformative classroom projects aligned to district priorities

Implement competency-based strategies with real-time coaching support

Document learning through authentic portfolios that showcase both process and impact

Build a network of practice within your organization and with fellow education leaders

🔥 What Makes SPARK Different

This isn't another workshop series. It's a professional learning community where your educators:

> Ask bold questions about what school can be

> Share the metacognition behind their practice

> Contribute to a growing body of practitioner knowledge

> Connect pedagogical innovation to measurable student outcomes

🏆 Outcomes for Fellows

Classroom Impact: A tested, scalable project with documented learner results
Professional Growth: A comprehensive portfolio demonstrating competency-based learning
Leadership Development: Evidence of instructional innovation and reflective practice
Peer Network: Ongoing collaboration with committed colleagues and education innovators
