Professional Support For Schools
Hidden Sparks
Hidden Sparks is a nonprofit whose purpose is to help children with learning differences reach their full potential in school and life by developing and supporting professional development programs for Jewish day schools to help increase understanding and support for teaching to diverse learners.
Their philosophy and programming reflect the belief that all children learn differently and that the most effective way to help those with learning difficulties is to design programs that help all children in the school. Hidden Sparks focuses on providing teachers with the tools and teaching strategies to better understand and teach children with social, emotional, and learning differences, as well as to nurture a cadre of trained experts. Their goal is to help schools develop and implement a system for early identification and assessment of struggling learners, supported by administrators and educators.
Hidden Sparks runs a series of trainings and programs for principals and staff, and webinars for teachers and parents.
