Spark: The Staff Satisfaction and Teacher Retention Insight Tool

THE CHALLENGE

Staff experience is shifting and leaders need a clearer picture.

Across the country, teachers report high stress and lower satisfaction. Many leave mid-year, which disrupts learning and adds to an already challenging shortage of staff. Leaders sense these shifts, but informal feedback rarely shows the full story. And other surveys arrive too late or don’t capture what actually drives retention.

Spark closes that gap by giving you:

A stronger sense of how your staff is experiencing their day-to-day, so you can respond to challenges before they escalate.

A way to strengthen trust, because staff see that you’re listening and following through.

A more stable workforce because when morale improves, midyear resignations decrease, and classrooms stay consistent for students - leading to stronger outcomes.

WHAT SPARK MAKES POSSIBLE

Predict efficacy, satisfaction, and retention outcomes.

Spark surfaces the things leaders often feel but can’t quite name. It helps you understand the conditions that support your staff and the ones that are wearing them down. Staff experience is multi-dimensional, but there are certain conditions that make the biggest difference in whether people stay. Spark's 6 survey domains and 45 questions are grounded in research and help predict efficacy, satisfaction, and retention outcomes.

SYSTEMWIDE ALIGNMENT

Leaders work from shared facts, not competing interpretations.

Spark creates a simple, predictable way for leaders to understand staff experience and follow through with clarity. It turns “we think” into “we know,” and helps teams make decisions grounded in real insight, rather than guesswork. The result: leaders feel more focused, staff feel more heard, and the work of strengthening culture becomes easier to sustain.

For District & Charter Network Leaders

Spark offers a clean view of patterns across schools. It helps you identify things to celebrate, where extra support would help, and where shifts in conditions are emerging.

For HR & Talent Teams

Spark strengthens retention strategy by connecting climate patterns to staffing realities. HR teams can plan earlier, design more targeted interventions, and support school leaders more proactively.

For School Leaders

Spark gives school leaders clarity on how their staff are experiencing leadership, workload, and day-to-day operations, helping them prioritize where to invest their energy.
