At SparkWheel, our approach is grounded in research, aligned with national best practices, and informed by proven frameworks across education, child development, mental health, and postsecondary success. 

We believe that supporting students and families requires more than good intentions — it requires evidence-based strategy, developmental science, and systems-level alignment. The resources below represent the research, frameworks, and national guidance that inform how we design, implement, and continuously strengthen our work. 

From Integrated Student Supports to developmental milestones, from positive childhood experiences to college and career readiness frameworks, these sources reflect the interdisciplinary foundation behind our model — spanning early childhood through young adulthood. 

We invite you to explore the research and frameworks that shape our commitment to connection, coordination, and care.
