The ASUW is concerned about the decline of funding for this program over the last two decades, expressed both as a proportion of total student aid, and in terms of award levels, which have lost considerable ground relative to inflation.
The ASUW recognizes the benefits that accrue to the students of the University of Washington and the nation as a whole from federal support of basic and applied research, and urges Congress and the Administration to invest in these initiatives.
The ASUW is opposed to any measure which prevents legal immigrants from obtaining an education, including any efforts to restrict financial aid eligibility, distort income levels through "deeming," or any additional mandates requiring colleges or universities to investigate the citizenship and background of students.
ASUW students begin their pre-service sequence with a stand-alone technology class, along with co-requisites in lesson planning/management, and assessment.
ASUW faculty first got acquainted with the Intel Teach to the Future Pre-Service Program at a curriculum review session, where they had hands-on experiences using the materials and activities outlined in the series of 10 modules.
ASUW, serving more than 7,000 students on a fast-growing campus in the Phoenix metro area, is now enrolling pre-service students "who seem to have an overall easier comfort with technology," she observes.
