Helping Schools Turn Insights into Impact with Spark 360

The Challenge Schools Are Tackling Every Day

We all want to see our students succeed – not just in exams, but in life. Yet, guiding them toward their goals isn’t always easy or straightforward. 

A 2021 report from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) found that nearly one in five high school students feels persistently sad or hopeless. An alarming number that has been on the rise in recent years. 

At the same time, the World Economic Forum emphasises that 65% of children entering primary school today will ultimately end up working in jobs that don’t yet exist. 

This is the reality, and we have to face it. 

Students need a new educational approach that is not only comprehensive but also adaptable to their interests and future career paths. 

But how can we provide it to them without knowing their interests, fears, and dreams?  The challenge isn’t a lack of effort on our part. It’s the lack of data and the tools to get it. 

Standard assessments focus on grades, but what about our students as human beings? What about their wellbeing levels, academic interests, or readiness for the future

These are just as important, yet they often go unmeasured.

 

Do you know your students beyond their grades? 

Our educators do more than teach. They guide, mentor, and support students every step of the way. 

We see teachers implementing creative lesson plans, leading social-emotional learning (SEL) programs, and going the extra mile to ensure our students feel supported. 

And it’s making a difference. Studies show that students in SEL programs perform better academically and develop stronger emotional and interpersonal skills.

But while grades and test scores tell us part of the story, they don’t show us everything.

 

What’s Still Missing?

Despite these efforts, many of our schools still struggle to get a complete picture of student progress

Traditional assessments tell us how well our students are performing academically, but they don’t always show us the whole story. 

  • What about their wellbeing? 
  • Their motivation? 
  • Their future readiness?

While teachers agree that social and emotional support is key to student success, not many feel they have the resources or right tools to provide it effectively. 

We know this challenge firsthand because we faced it as well

Our educators are already doing everything they can, but without the right data and tools, it’s almost impossible for them to offer personalised support for every student.
