The PAASS Project The equation used to solve the achievement gap in math and science has consistently left out African American students and their parents.

The Parenting and African American STEM Success (PAASS) Project is dedicated to understanding the role of families and the community in the success of African American students in math and science. The Parenting and African American STEM Success (PAASS) Project was created to help correct this important mistake. The PAASS Project is dedicated to understanding African American students’ achievement in math and science in the context of their parents/guardians and school community . We hope to find the unique factors that help African American students succeed; focusing on attitudes towards race, parent child relationships and perceptions of school climate. The project spans across middle school and high school years, during which we have annual surveys to participating African American students, their parents and teachers of the Ypsilanti and Van Buren School Districts.
