Our Story

The Spark Hub was founded on a simple belief: every learner has strengths worth building on.

Our work is shaped by years inside classrooms, leadership offices, special education meetings, and board rooms. We’ve seen what works — and what doesn’t. Real change doesn’t come from adding more programs. It comes from listening better, designing smarter, and staying focused on what students actually need.

We are intentionally small, deeply relational, and committed to sustainability — for students, families, and educators alike.

OUR VALUES

FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Jasmine Cox

Jasmine Cox is a nationally recognized education leader, systems strategist, and advocate with over a decade of experience spanning classrooms, school leadership, special education, district systems, and charter school development. She is the founder of The Spark Hub, a strengths-based education organization supporting schools, families, and students through system design, advocacy, and innovative learning models.

Before founding The Spark Hub, Jasmine served as a classroom teacher, MTSS coordinator, special education director, and school principal. She has opened and led charter schools from concept to launch and has partnered with superintendents, cabinet leaders, school boards, and families to translate vision into sustainable, student-centered systems.

Jasmine’s work is grounded in both instructional expertise and deep systems knowledge. She specializes in whole-child assessment strategy, MTSS-aligned intervention design, academic testing and interpretation, leadership coaching, and strengths-based learning models. Her approach blends data, professional judgment, and human-centered design to ensure that students are supported without being reduced to labels or scores.

In addition to her systems work with schools, Jasmine is a trusted advocate for families navigating special education, 504 planning, homeschooling, and alternative learning pathways. She is known for helping families make informed decisions with clarity, confidence, and dignity.

She is also the founder and executive director of The Spark Hub Collective, a hybrid microschool serving students in grades K–8 through a mastery-based, strengths-first model designed to reduce burnout and restore joy in learning.

 Patience | Worldly | Appreciation | Flexibility | Creative Thinking

Hi! I’m Tamyiah, and I’m proud to be a jack-of-all-trades at The Spark Hub, supporting our micro-homeschool community both inside and outside the classroom. With several years of experience in educational spaces, I bring a deep love for teaching, creativity, and hands-on learning that helps students feel engaged, confident, and cared for. At Spark Hub, I’m passionate about creating joyful, supportive environments where children can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. I love helping students discover what makes them shine while building the skills they need to thrive. Outside of work, you can usually find me being crafty, doing hair, traveling with my family, or exploring new foods and places. I’m excited to continue pouring into our learners and helping make Spark Hub a place where every student feels seen, supported, and inspired every day.

Hi! I’m Judy Beckford, and I’m proud to support The Spark Hub through strategic marketing, sales enablement, and event growth support. I bring extensive experience helping education-centered organizations strengthen their outreach, clarify their message, and create event experiences that feel aligned, compelling, and impactful.

At Spark Hub, I lead the development of audience-facing materials that help families and community partners clearly understand our mission and offerings. From branded flyers and digital invitations to email campaigns and social media content, my work ensures every touchpoint reflects Spark Hub’s values while driving engagement and momentum.

I’m passionate about bridging strategy and execution. I love helping great work reach the people it’s meant to serve, and I bring a practical, detail-oriented approach to supporting events before, during, and after they happen.

Outside of Spark Hub, I enjoy connecting with others, exploring new ideas and places, and bringing creativity and clarity to everything I do. I’m excited to help Spark Hub continue growing as a trusted, joyful learning community.
