Yourway Learning Launches Spark Activities for K-12

MIAMI LAKES, Fla., Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Yourway Learning, the pedagogy-first leader in AI for K-12 education, today launched Yourway Spark — student activities that enable real-time differentiation for every student while maintaining teacher control and student safety.

Built specifically for classroom instruction rather than adapted from consumer chatbots, Spark delivers interactive, AI-powered activities that respond instantly to each student's needs. Teachers design the learning path; Spark handles the adaptive delivery — saving hours of preparation time while deepening student engagement.

The Challenge Educators Face

Schools have been promised personalized learning for years, but most AI tools force teachers to choose between student safety, instructional control, and true differentiation. Consumer chatbots adapted for education often lack grade-level appropriateness, compromise student privacy, or remove teachers from the learning process entirely.

How Spark Is Different

"We didn't retrofit a consumer chatbot for schools. We built Spark from the ground up with our deep understanding of how classrooms really work," said Hollin Wakefield, Chief Product & Technology Officer at Yourway Learning. "Teachers stay in the driver's seat. Students have the guardrails they need to be productive. And the AI adapts instantly to help every student's learning progress without ever replacing the human expertise that makes learning meaningful."

Spark combines five critical elements rarely found together in educational technology:

• Classroom-specific design: Grounded in proven instructional practices across subjects and grade levels, not generic AI responses
• Real-time adaptation: Instantly adjusts to student input, making genuine differentiation possible during instruction
• Teacher authority: Educators control learning objectives and monitor progress with clear insights
• Student engagement: Interactive, avatar-led activities spark curiosity and sustain motivation throughout lessons
• Privacy-first architecture: No student accounts required; no personally identifiable information shared with AI systems

Safety and Compliance Built In

Yourway Spark meets the highest standards for student data protection and responsible AI use:

• Fully compliant with FERPA, COPPA, and state privacy laws including NY Education Law 2-D, SOPIPA, and SOPPA
• Continuous monitoring and refinement of AI models to mitigate bias and promote equity
• Active leadership in AI safety: Yourway is a member of the EDSAFE AI Alliance Industry Council, with Co-Founder & U.S. President Jason Green serving as Vice Chair to advance safe AI practices in education

"Time and again, educators have been promised personalization, but what's been available up to this point has been unsafe, one-size-fits-all tools," said Jerry Weissberg, CEO of Yourway Learning. "Spark finally delivers what teachers actually need: a safe, research-driven solution that reaches every learner while amplifying—not replacing—teacher expertise."
