What if...

  • Teachers had proven tools to create authentic, trusting relationships with their students—unlocking both academic and emotional potential?
  • Schools could reduce teacher burnout by creating a culture where educators felt supported, empowered, and reconnected to their purpose?
  • Classrooms became spaces where students felt safe to take risks, fail, and grow—leading to better attendance, engagement, and outcomes?
  • Every teacher could learn how to inspire even the most disengaged student, fostering confidence and motivation?
  • Investing in educators today could create a lasting ripple effect of innovation, creativity, and resilience throughout your entire school system?

With Spark Educators, these “what ifs” are now a reality.

Are you an educator currently facing some or all of these challenges (and others)?

Students struggling with mental health

See Spark in Action

Imagine a program that doesn’t just talk about connection but gives educators actionable tools to transform relationships with their students, their colleagues, and themselves.

Monica White, a 25-year veteran educator and founder of Elevate Academy, asked this very question after reading Jackie Insinger’s book, Spark Brilliance. This vision became the foundation of their partnership and the development of Spark Educators.
