Positive Interaction Experiences
90 Second Spark
Science suggests the more positive experiences a person has, the better the person feels. In addition, a recent study found that a positive classroom environment can affect a student's learning and academic growth by as much as 25%. What does that mean? If a teacher can establish a classroom environment where intentional, positive interactions happen on a daily occurrence, then that teacher’s students would be happier AND experience, potentially, 25% more academic success! Enter our 90 Second Positive Spark Plan, a plan that allows for teachers to create authentic and genuine positive interactions for them and their students in the first 90 seconds of class. The smallest spark of positivity can change the way your students learn. Let’s get ready to spark together!Spark Examples and Spark Plan
