Tribal
Through our SparkWheel Tribal Program, we collaborate with Tribal governments and community organizations to support students in achieving their full potential. By addressing service gaps and removing barriers, we help ensure students have the tools they need to succeed in school and beyond.
​
We also work alongside Tribal Education Departments and public-school Indian Education Departments to assist with Tribal Consultations, fostering strong partnerships that benefit students and their communities.
With SparkWheel, students can attend school more consistently and in environments that support their learning and growth.

How It Works
SparkWheel's program is customizable for every community and school. Each school year, our Student Support Coordinators conduct a School Review, which evaluates current needs and resources. Then, they work with school personnel to develop a customized School Engagement Plan. This ensures our work fills gaps in existing resources and does not duplicate existing resources within the school.
​
Throughout the school year, Student Support Coordinators split their time working individually with case-managed students, holding small groups for students with similar needs, and providing school-wide supports. We monitor progress towards student goals at each grading period and make adjustments to make adjustments to support ongoing success.
Finally, we analyze our work at the end of each school year, reflecting on what works and what doesn’t. Our data-driven model delivers one of the most significant chances of success for the students we serve.
