eSpark is the individualized adaptive learning program that we use for the ELL population in our district. It is aligned to state standards and the company also adds each students' test scores to the system so it provides targeted instruction for each child to support our English Language Learners at their level. Students take a pretest for each skill and if they pass the pretest they automatically move onto the next skill. If students do not pass the pretest, the program automatically provides videos and apps for student to complete so they learn and practice the targeted skills that they need to master. Once students pass the post test, they have to write a script and then they use that script to make a video explaining what they learned. It is very engaging for our students and it does a nice job scaffolding content. Making a video is a great way for my students to practice using English to become more proficient. The visuals and audio support are perfect for our EL's and it provides practice in all four proficiency domains, listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students love using eSpark in my classroom and I love how they get to work at their own pace at their own skill level. I even receive reports from the company each week to help guide my instruction. My students are always excited to progress through the many activities to learn new skills and they love making the videos at the end of their learning quest.

I like that each child is working at their own level and can be challenged while at the same time enjoying their learning experience.

That the students are all located in one place, ease of making changes to the students
