SPARK U Refresher Agenda

Day 1

How Healthy is Your Classroom?

Mid-year is the perfect time to pause, reflect, and reset. In this refresher module, SPARK U teachers revisit the health of their classroom environment by examining organization, routines, and expectations through a fresh lens. Teachers will reflect on what’s working, identify areas that need tightening, and refine a practical “backup” plan for moments when instruction or behavior starts to slip. This day supports teachers in recalibrating their management systems to better align with the current needs of their students—restoring clarity, consistency, and momentum for the remainder of the year.

Day 2

Strategic Instructional Design

“I know that there are many pieces to lessons, I’m just not sure how all of them fit together.”

This was the sentiment of a K-2 multiage classroom teacher as she struggled with lesson planning. Lesson planning can be tedious and time consuming. In this SPARK U Module teachers discover a new, simple and straightforward way to design lessons so that learning is maximized for all students. They will create lessons that are aligned to a clear learning objective, and include a strong beginning, flexible middle and comprehensive ending.
