Physics Teachers Summer Academy OVERVIEW AND REFLECTIONS DAVID ABBOTT, DAN MACISAAC, ALYSSA PAULI

Who we serve In principle: Anyone who wants to become a (better) physics teacher In practice: ◦Primarily NYS residents w/o NYSED Physics cert. ◦New/in-service NYS teachers w/o NYSED prof. cert. ◦Pre-service teacher candidates w/o NYSED initial cert. ◦Primarily non-degree candidates ◦3 Male : 1 Female

Summer Academy Courses Focus: ◦Physics at the intro undergrad. level ◦Pedagogy and PCK at the graduate level The big three (6 cr each): ◦PHY510 Process Skills in Teaching Physics ◦PHY620 Powerful Ideas in Quantitative Modeling: Force, Motion and Energy ◦PHY622 Powerful Ideas in Quantitative Modeling: Electricity and Magnetism Features: Short and Intense (8+ hr/day for 2 or 3 weeks) Informed by SER, PER Team taught: BSC faculty and adjuncts (practicing or retired HS PHY teachers) PHY620/622 primarily Modeling Physics curriculum Required in BSC grad. degree programs

Content Knowledge

Making it work (politically) Make profit for college ◦“big tent” clientele (include non-PHY, non-degree!) ◦Calculate break-even enrollment (during summer: ~5!) Build collaborations and tap synergies Local physics teacher alliances (WNYPTA, RAPTOR) STEM teacher prep scholarships (Noyce) At BSC (Tech. Ed. and Sci. Ed.) and regionally (UB, JCC) Take advantage of stringent NYS cert. requirements Get recognized NSF Grant money Get candidates to publish (STANYS, AAPT) T-TEP Report

Noyce Fellowships NSF program Significant tuition assistance ($10k-$15K/yr, up to two years) For new K-12 STEM teachers Service obligation (2 years high needs school per year of award) Two grants at Buffalo State (Phase 1 and Phase 2) Delighted to share our Proposals and our Reports

Noyce (BSC Physics) Phase 1 N = 13 (3 female) Grads = 11 (2 PHS, 6 PHA, 2 BS Ed, 1 out of state) Phase 2 (1/ /2015) N = 3 (all male) Grads = 0 1 teaching already (but not in high needs) Met SODid not meet SO Teaching now46 Not teaching12

Challenges/Opportunities Internal Team teaching College admin (summer) Teach physics and PCK simultaneously Students’ grasp of material (esp. E&M) Recruiting (word of mouth, listserv) External Declining enrollments (nationally) New M.S. Ed. program at BSC Course enrollments vs. degree candidates Political climates

Should we be worried?

PhysTEC model Undergraduate degree in Physics “Rising above the Gathering Storm” Data: In ~50% of HS classes, PHY (and CHE) teacher has no BA/BS in content area Claim: BA/BS in content and proper cert predicts success of students (evidence?) Needs of public schools? Numbers game: need ~3000 new PHY teachers per year, only ~5000 PHY BS/BA granted State-by-state cert. differences Source:
