What we do
Three outcomes. One human-centred ecosystem.
SPARK helps institutions and social-impact programmes unlock human potential: by preparing the adults who guide young people, supporting meaningful learner journeys, and making progress visible. SPARK Studio and SPARK Compass are the capabilities behind that work.
- Demonstrated
- Built and shown working in demonstrations.
- Pilot-ready
- Designed workflow ready to run with a partner school in a structured pilot.
- Proposed
- On the roadmap. Shaped with educators, not yet built or deployed.
01
Prepare Educators & Mentors
Build judgment and readiness through experience.
The adults who guide young people make delicate decisions every day. SPARK gives them a safe place to rehearse those moments, see how a choice unfolds and reflect on the judgment behind it. Teacher readiness is our demonstrated use case; mentor and facilitator readiness is a proposed extension.
- Demonstrated
Situation Rooms
Realistic, contextual classroom situations where teachers make decisions and see how those choices unfold.
- Demonstrated
Structured feedback and reflection
After each decision, teachers examine feedback and reflect on the professional judgment behind their choice.
- Pilot-ready
Facilitated school cohorts
Groups of teachers work through Situation Rooms together, with a facilitator guiding discussion.
- Proposed
Readiness for mentors and facilitators
The same Situation Room method, designed for mentoring, youth-development and facilitation roles in appropriate programmes.
02
Guide Learner Growth
Create meaningful, continuous mentoring and development journeys.
Young people grow through steady relationships with adults who know them. SPARK is designed to help those adults notice strengths, keep mentoring conversations going and carry understanding forward, so a learner's story is not lost when a term, a mentor or a year changes. The observations and decisions always stay with people.
- Proposed
Teacher observations
Simple, respectful notes on a learner's strengths, interests and growth, recorded by the teachers who know them.
- Proposed
Mentoring follow-up
Light-touch prompts that help mentors keep conversations with each learner going over time.
- Proposed
Parent-teacher meeting preparation
A clear, balanced picture of the learner that helps teachers and parents talk about the whole child.
- Proposed
Year-end teacher handover
Continuity from one year to the next, so the next teacher starts with understanding, not from zero.
03
Make Progress Visible
Turn observations, mentoring and development into useful evidence.
Leaders, funders and partners need an honest view of what is changing. SPARK is designed to bring observations, mentoring and development together into a clearer picture for institutions and programmes, with measures agreed up front and every result labelled honestly.
- Proposed
School-level readiness insights
Aggregated, non-ranking summaries that help school leaders plan professional development.
- Proposed
Holistic progress workflows
A shared rhythm for reviewing each learner's development across the school year, structured to support Holistic Progress Card (HPC) practice.
- Proposed
Evaluation measures agreed up front
Measures set with each partner before work begins, labelled as proposed until results are verified.

SPARK Studio + SPARK Compass
Studio builds readiness through experience today. Compass is our proposed, teacher-led approach to carrying each learner's growth forward in schools.
