A large portion of the ASAP project is academic research, with our end goal being to make a case for further funding in STEM education statewide. With the help of the University Office of Evaluation and Educational Effectiveness at ASU (UOEEE) we've begun to measure how much impact this program has had on kids as well as teachers.
Through the statistics we've collected thus far, ASAP has impacted over 240,000 students in every Arizona county, paid out $7,560,444 directly to teachers, granted opportunities for our educators to attend 34,974 total hours of professional development, and impacted 757 schools.
Previously having been funded by the Department of Education in a three year grant, ASAP has transitioned to a non-fellowship period, while we search for additional sources of funding! In the meantime we are making every effort to support STEM Education across Arizona, and publish the research we have conducted thus far.
The ‘Get Set For STEM!' program funded by the Arizona Department of Education is the largest program available to educators currently!
My students and I want to thank you for this life changing opportunity. We will cherish all we have been able to achieve due to the ASAP program.
