Afterschool Coaching for Reflective Educators in STEM
Since 2016, Afterschool Coaching for Reflective Educators in STEM (ACRES) has provided high-quality, meaningful STEM coaching in afterschool spaces across every state—from Boys & Girls Clubs to libraries, YMCAs, and summer camps, and beyond. ACRES has worked with more than 1,400 educators, and impacted approximately 28,300 youth.
Now, after nearly a decade of building, coaching, testing, and learning with educators, we’re sharing our research-backed tools, and putting ACRES’ nationally recognized coaching resources(opens in a new tab) directly in the hands of educators.
You can learn more about ACRES, MMSA’s support for out-of-school educators, and how ACRES’s research and resources will continue to make an impact.

The professional development I received through MMSA provided me with critical understanding of student-led inquiry and the power of using phenomena to spark students' curiosity. The result is that students develop agency and grow in myriad ways.
