Our exceptional awardees hail from 33 states and the District of Columbia as well as groups serving the entire nation. They include schools with one location and some with multiple, and represent 8 different kinds of education providers. Together they serve tens of thousands of students in transformational and outstanding ways.
A majority of the 2022 Yass Prize Quarterfinalists serve important and often overlooked populations and embrace the importance of education that is both sustainable and permissionless. They include some standout public and private educators specifically focused on competency-based education and personalized learning as well as leaders in the ed tech space who provide remarkable tools that can be integrated into any of the other full service models being celebrated for their STOP-enabled education.
Trends this year include apprenticeships, career prep for students, hybrid and blended learning models launched, tested and proven during COVID, numerous parent-led efforts restoring hope and optimism to BIPOC families and an explosion of groups serving neurodivergent learners. While they are diverse in nature and location, these educational entrepreneurs are high impact innovators inspiring students, families and the communities around them. They will make a catalyzing Yass Prize community and we welcome them.
Join us in celebrating their accomplishments and wishing them the best of luck in the continuing Yass Prize competition!
