ASU Impact Corps

The ASU Impact Corps is a group of teachers making a meaningful impact on their students and communities.

Our Center has identified a group of public high schools in AZ whose graduates go on to achieve high rates of successful outcomes in specific subject disciplines in Arizona’s universities. We have invited the teachers in these subjects at these schools to join the ASU Impact Corps. ASU Impact Corps members are from public high schools of all types in Arizona and represent bright spots in our state’s public high school system.

The Inaugural Cohort

names

The Inaugural Cohort of the ASU Impact Corps consists of 12 members from 7 different high schools across Arizona. They worked together during a Members Retreat from May 31st to June 2nd where they discussed promising practices and the state of education in AZ and learned about a variety of resources available to K-12 schools from ASU, as well as drafted a mentor plan to expand their reach through the next school year.

The Inaugural Cohort of the Impact Corps was designed to build a professional network of educators across Arizona. We plan to expand this program with a new cohort of teachers each year, focusing on different topics and regions of Arizona. We hope to build a robust network of mentor educators across the state as this program grows, and we also intend to create a platform for Corps Members to unify around key education issues affecting all of Arizona.
