Arizona has over 220 school districts and 200 charter schools. Statewide school reform is based on the premise of local control. Parents should have the ability to choose the school that will best meet the needs of their child. And schools must be accountable to the children, parents, and communities they serve. The three high priority State reform initiatives are school finance, finance, curriculum standards with assessments, and Charter schools. State Statistics: Number of school districts: 220 Number of school buildings: 1300 Number of K-12 teachers currently employed: 40,000 Number of K-12 students currently enrolled: 800,000 Number of students in district with largest enrollment: 60,000 Number of students in district with smallest enrollment: 12 Number of districts with fewer than 1000 students: 66 [Overview] [Programs and Projects] [State Contacts] [PSR*TEC Services] Overview Following is a general overview of educational reform initiatives in Arizona, with a focus on technology education and underserved populations. Arizona has one of the lowest per pupil expenditure rates in the United States. Funding for BIA schools is even lower than the state's per pupil expenditure rate. Education finance has been a major focus of reform efforts. The Arizona Essential Skills comprise core academic areas in which students are expected to gain mastery. In 1990, the state legislature enacted the Arizona Student Assessment Program (ASAP) to assess student progress in the Essential Skills. This reform initiative provides new opportunities for developing and implementing alternative forms of performance assessment. The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) is currently engaged in the development of selection criteria for instructional materials and for alternative assessments that are aligned with Arizona's Essential Skills.

K-12 Education and Teacher Preparation Science education is particularly at risk from the growing national trend towards alternatives to traditional public schools, such as charter schools, private schools, vouchers, and home schooling. Arizona leads the nation in these trends with 225 school districts, 944 public schools, 289 charter schools, 353 private schools, and some 13,500 home-schooled children. Many of these districts and schools are small and are located in rural areas. Alternative schools are characterized by small numbers of students, stretched resources, and few science departments. Through the Center we have an opportunity to greatly amplify ongoing efforts and facilitate the delivery of better resources to each of these groups. Both content and instruction will align with the recommendations for science teachers in the National Science Education Standards ?, Professional Standards for the Teaching of Mathematics ? and the Benchmarks for Science Literacy ?. One pioneering effort in this regard is the international GLOBE program, in which over 2700 schools in 70 countries collect and report scientific observations on meteorology, hydrology, soils, and land cover. The GLOBE hydrology (Bales, Conklin) and soil-moisture (Washburne) science teams are based at the UA, and the UA investigators are active in training teachers to be GLOBE participants. This GLOBE connection provides the Center with an excellent avenue to reach schools across the world.
