ASU Physics Teachers Education Coalition

PhysTEC Project Goals:

Goal 1: Transform physics departments to engage in preparing physics teachers

Goal 2: Demonstrate successful models for increasing the number of highly-qualified physics teachers

Goal 3: Spread best-practice ideas throughout the physics teacher preparation community

We are aiming to foster the spread of qualified Physics teachers through the implementation of our Learning Assistant Program in designated Physics 121 classes.  The Learning Assistants actively participate in class lectures and recitation sections to ensure that students have a solid understanding of the material.  This program is designed to not only help the students, but to give the Learning Assistants a chance to practice teaching the material, and hopefully encourage them to seek out a job as a Physics teacher one day.
