Participation Opportunities

{Mapping the landscape of early childhood services available to children ages birth to age 8} My research project is entitled, Mapping the landscape of early childhood services available to children ages birth to age 8. I am studying the capacity of using Geographic Information Software (GIS) to map the available services (child care, medical centers, libraries, etc.) for children ages birth to age 5 in relation to local kindergarten through grade five school boundaries. Once mapping is completed then the primary goal is to provide focused professional development training in vocabulary development and early mathematics experiences for child care center teachers and kindergarten and first grade teachers. Through this linkage I expect to document improved child outcomes in vocabulary and early math once children enter kindergarten.

{The Modeling Institute and STEM-net} The Modeling Institute is a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) teacher networking organization that will link K-12 teachers throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area with researchers and educators at ASU. As a Research Apprentice for this NSF-Funded project, you would be responsible for helping to launch STEM-net, an organization that will meet three times per year at ASU for an afternoon of teacher workshops followed by a networking dinner with a first-rate speaker who will describe their research agenda and its relevance to K12 education. Your role will be to help the Institute compile information on participants, their education needs and the nature and extent of their interest in STEM-net involvement to help us build an organization that is relevant and useful to the local education community.
