Feedback from Hidden Sparks participants highlights the impact it’s making on teachers and their students. In the words of one teacher, “Because of Hidden Sparks, I now understand the importance of collaboration between principal, teachers, parents, and students to help students succeed.” And from another teacher, “I used to focus on the student’s major weakness without looking enough at the whole student. The constructs allow me to check and look at the whole student. (They) also taught me to focus more on students’ affinity and strengths.”
Another teacher explained, “Hidden Sparks showed me that the more students understand their own learning issues the more able they will be to help themselves develop strategies even after they leave school. I thought that I had a good understanding of how to approach teaching children with learning differences. Now I have been given a toolkit, which has more precise tools that will help me use my prior knowledge and the “best” key to open the door for more of my students.”
