Learning and Leading as Collaborative Physics Education/Physics Partners: Building a Physics Teacher Education Program
Stokes, Donna W.; Evans, Paige K.
Palgrave Studies on Leadership and Learning in Teacher Education
This chapter describes how faculty from the "teach"HOUSTON program and physics department collaborated to increase the number of highly qualified physics teachers. Prior to this collaboration, the University had not produced even one physics teacher graduate in the previous decade. A physics teacher education pathway has been established which utilizes scholarships, physics degree plans with inclusion of teacher certification courses, and a physics inquiry course for enhancing physics content knowledge. This has resulted in preparing, on average, three physics teachers annually.
