Long Bio
Bethany Weigele, as the Chief Innovation Officer at EdPlus at Arizona State University, provides leadership support through planning and directing EdPlus efforts related to innovation and emerging initiatives. This includes: (1) advancing innovative ideas into executable projects and ensuring their execution; (2) designing grant proposals and forming teams related to and focused on innovations that will lead to student success; and (3) as appropriate, developing internal talent for innovation designed to secure, mentor and evolve new EdPlus leaders and additional EdPlus funding.
Research Interests
National education research conducted by The National Math and Science Initiative for 2013 indicates that only 44% of high school graduates are ready for college level math and and even less (36%) are ready for college sciences. I hope to help uncover the leading factors for this low level of readiness and discover ways in which educators can improve the math and science skills of their pupils. I am very intersted in reaching out to the academic community to build connections with ASU and create innovative methods to instruct math and science courses that excite and prepare students for future STEM careers.
