Education Partners
Educators were an essential part of the 2017 JA JobSpark experience.

We know your classroom time is valuable and as educators you have many responsibilities. We appreciate you delivering the classroom curriculum to your students and coordinating their participation in JA JobSpark 2017. Your leadership contributed to the overall success of the event .

You can keep the spark alive by completing activities from the JA JobSpark Teacher Guide which you might not have had a chance to present in the classroom before or after JA JobSpark. Or, perhaps you delve into one of the Enhanced Learning Opportunities
to re-ignite conversations about their future!
