Ongoing professional development is an essential resource for K-12 STEM educators looking to stay at the forefront of STEM pedagogy and update their content knowledge. Our professional development and funding partners play a critical role in helping ASAP reach the greatest number of educators possible and provide access to integral resources.
Forging sustainable connections between professional development partners and Arizona educators has always been a central role of our program. We believe that directing fellows to an organization that specializes in their subject area and enhancing education standards is a crucial step in accelerating STEM Education across this state.
For this reason, ASAP provides funding to professional development partners to provide their workshops at discounted or free rates, with a focus on rural and traditionally undeveloped areas. We provide teachers with compensation for attending these workshops, and all parties involved benefit, with students reaping the rewards.
