Denver, Colo., Jan. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Just as education has evolved, especially quickly in the last 12 months, so has mindSpark Learning® (MindSpark™), a nonprofit that creates and facilitates transformative professional learning experiences for educators and professionals globally. The organization announced today it has rebranded, including a refreshed logo, overhauled website and refined verbiage to better define its purpose, goals, and reach among educators, communities and industry.
Since Share Fair Nation became mindSpark Learning in 2017, the organization has grown from providing Colorado educators with space and professional development courses to reaching educators and professionals across the globe with custom, tech-driven professional learning experiences and connecting educators with community and industry partners to better prepare the future workforce.
The MindSpark team believes society's biggest problems can be solved through education, by educators. All program experiences are tied to MindSpark’s causes, often relating to societal societal challenges, including Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Resilient and Health Communities, Sustained Transformation, and Workforce and Talent Development. To drive accountability and ensure success, MindSpark aligns their programs to their causes through S.P.A.R.K. goals, which were developed based on the Every Student Succeeds Act and UN Sustainable Development Goals: Sustained Transformation, Partnerships Forged, Authentic Learning Experiences, Retain and Recruit Talent and Kinetic.
“Educators have proven their resilience, more so this year than any other in recent history.” said MindSpark CEO, Kellie Lauth. “While our rebrand is a culmination of almost one year of work, it couldn’t come at a better time to help educators on their journey to upskill themselves and find resources to help them meet modern-day challenges. To all levels of educators, we’re here for you and we’re thrilled to be a trusted partner in your professional development.”
