Created by New York Times bestselling authors Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey, DailySpark is an innovative 30-day digital learning experience designed to help educators integrate professional development seamlessly into their daily routines. Through brief daily sessions of just 5–8 minutes, educators receive focused video content paired with practical reflection activities, all delivered via email notifications that fit naturally into busy schedules.
DailySpark transforms professional learning from overwhelming to achievable. By breaking complex teaching topics into manageable daily doses, it helps educators build sustainable habits of excellence while avoiding burnout. The micro-coaching format encourages educators to apply one strategy at a time, fostering meaningful skill development rather than information overload. Because it is delivered asynchronously, learning happens on each educator’s own schedule, making high-quality professional development accessible regardless of time or budget constraints.
DailySpark supports individual educators committed to continuous improvement, small districts with limited professional development budgets, and larger organizations looking to supplement in-person training. It is especially well suited for teachers seeking practical, evidence-based strategies they can implement immediately and for administrators searching for cost-effective ways to support staff growth.
Each morning, participants receive an email linking to their daily learning. They watch a short video focused on a specific instructional strategy such as vocabulary development, gradual release of responsibility, or creating learning intentions and success criteria, then complete a brief reflection activity to reinforce application. Over 30 days, these small daily investments compound into meaningful professional growth, with topics ranging from classroom management to AI integration, all designed to meet educators where they are and drive real classroom impact.
