Spark is a data integration tool created to support Matchbook Learning's student-centered, mastery-based, blended learning model. It analyzes student achievement daily based on multiple points of data from various online resources and assessment providers. It provides teachers with a one-stop view of a student's proficiency to help teachers strategically group students for future learning opportunities.
