ASU Prep: Preparing for what’s next
Our guests are Julie Young, managing director of ASU Prep Academy and ASU Prep Digital, and Amy McGrath, chief operating officer of ASU Prep Digital. They talk with host Mi-Ai Parrish about the work being done by the ASU Prep Academy and ASU Prep Digital during this unprecedented time of greater reliance on distance learning.
This episode includes how ASU Prep is preparing students and teachers for the fall, the search for quality in online, distance learning and how ASU Prep Digital is an answer to bricks-and-mortar schools at a time when many parents are concerned — and many schools remain undecided about fall plans.
We look at Summer 2020 and why this will be a huge opportunity for people to get ahead in their learning. In a period of economic uncertainty, higher education remains one of the best investments people can make.
The U.S. lags in COVID-19 testing worldwide, but the best way out of the current coronavirus pandemic crisis is through expanded testing. Josh LaBaer of Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute walks host Mi-Ai Parrish through the latest research developments.
