What is CO PhysTEC?

Building on local resources, networks, and projects, the Colorado PhysTEC initiative will create
an integrated program to:

• support the (re-)vitalization of an undergraduate major track in physics and teaching
  through reforms in undergraduate introductory courses, increased access into teaching for
  physics majors, and a new advanced physics course in Teaching and Learning Physics,
• support efforts to more thoroughly mix reformed pedagogy into departmental practice,
• partner with the School of Education, the STEM-TP collaborative, the CPU-II PET
  Project, and local schools to create and maintain a continuum of K-12 teacher preparation
  that begins in the college of Arts and Sciences,
• partner with other CU initiatives and local schools to create opportunities for school
  teachers to collaborate in educational at the university and in the schools, a
• conduct research studies within and evaluations of these coordinated activity systems.
