Measurements of the electron-beam spin asymmetry, A_TL^', for the p(e,e^' K^+)Λ^0 reaction have been performed using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at Jefferson Lab. Data were collected for beam energies of 2.6 and 4.2 GeV with Q^2≈ 1.0 to 3.0 GeV^2 and W from threshold to approximately 2.5 GeV. The large acceptance of CLAS allows for full azimuthal angle coverage over a large range of center-of-mass angles. The ultimate goal is to extract σ_TL^' which is sensitive to interferences between resonant and non-resonant amplitudes. Preliminary results indicate that A_TL^' is much larger than what is expected from state-of-the-art hadrodynamic model calculations. This measurement is part of a larger CLAS program to measure cross sections and polarization observables for kaon electroproduction in the nucleon resonance region and is a crucial component of identifying missing N resonances that decay into strange final states.
