Goals, activities, participants and its relation with STEM-TP
explicit program goals:
increase number of physics majors going into teaching
support reforms in undergrad coursework
partner with local schools
research these activities
(Many of these goals are same as STEM-TP. They are coupled; though there are some differences.)
APS model: TIR program – beginning year 2. Full time (4 day) residence
More information is at: http://www.phystec.org/
Our model: begin with TAG and Fellows program (to be discussed at end).
Reform 1110/1120/1140 – use 4810 – TIR
Research effectiveness (grad student)
Sustain.
future plans-- particularly the years 2 and 3 model of a TIR
