Educational innovation and outreach in the Department of Physics and Astronomy Outreach: REU - Research experience for undergraduates LLE summer program for high school students PREP - Pre-college Experience in Physics for 9th and 10th grade women PARTICLE - HS classroom outreach Innovation: Inquiry Workshops Preflights Teaching/training: TI program Certificate in college teaching TI/TA training Frank Wolfs

Overview of PARTICLE Kevin McFarland Methods: –Summer Teacher Institute Particle Physics, Cosmic Rays, Other Modern Physics Topics, Pedagogy Construct Classroom Equipment –Classroom Outreach Visits by Physicists to Classrooms Research Support –“PARTICLE day” student conference

Focal Point: Cosmic Ray Telescope Primary “hook” is the cosmic ray telescope for the classroom –Easy to build –About $400/unit

Classroom visits Particle day Student projects/research and presentations

PREP Pre-College Experience in Physics for Women 2 week summer program for th and 10th grade women Guest speakers, inquiry labs and discussions Content-based grant funding Planned and run by 2 women undergraduate science majors

Workshops in physics Cline, Manly, McFarland, Wu, Tipton (P113, P114, P121, P122) Very successful by multiple measures Assessment Continued module development, cross-disciplinary Toy chest Use of online applets and/or research within module

Preflights Just-in-time-teaching U Illinois server, moving to webwork this summer Will use in P122 and P113 this fall Give reading assignment at end of previous class Ask students to do online quiz about the assignment Look at results of quiz before lecture and modify lecture and incorporate statistics on quiz results McFarland, used in P122

Teaching and Training Teaching Intern program - 20 undergraduate TI’s, work in labs (along with graduate student) and workshops Weekly teaching seminar during fall In addition workshop leaders must attend weekly leader meeting Intense 2-day TA/TI training at end of August (physics & other depts) - talks, video taping Teaching certificate - talented and interested TA’s teach major summer courses - good for students, good for dept.

Plans/vision/fantasy PARTICLE program - maybe an avenue through which others might get involved with local HS outreach Will continue to play with workshops, preflights, physics on the road, projects, etc. Assessment: Workshops, preflights, other things High school physics workshops? Spread the word to other research physics departments

Open to deeper physics/Warner ties. Encourage use of physics courses as physics/Warner laboratory for interested Warner folk. Internally exploring possibility of physics Ph.D. with concentration in physics education. Have a unique? core of interested folk cutting across departments, LAS, Warner. WTF is an example. Perhaps this gives us an opportunity to study/assess innovation in science/engineering/math education in a way most others cannot. Plans/vision/fantasy
