Southern Arizona education news in brief, also including a STEM acceleration program.
Genesis Lara Students across Tucson will participate in Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day on Monday morning, Nov. 14, to honor the youngest of a group of African American students who integrated into schools in Louisiana in 1960.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Brown v. the Board of Education put an end to racial segregation in public schools in 1954. Some states like Louisiana, however, continued to resist. On Nov. 14, 1960, then 6-year-old Bridges became the first African American student to integrate into William Frantz Elementary School. She was escorted by four federal marshals and spent the school day in the principal’s office as angry parents demanded that the school remove her.ASU Stem Acceleration ProjectFive teachers from Sunnyside Unified School District were selected into Arizona State University’s Stem Acceleration Project, which has a cohort of about 350 teachers statewide.
The teachers will each receive a $2,000 classroom grant and a teacher stipend for a year. The teacher fellows will also work together to develop a bank of STEM lessons for other teachers statewide.
