The Department of Physics at Arizona State University recognizes the importance of having well-trained physics and physical science teachers in our nation's schools. We already have a strong program for the professional development of in-service high school science and math teachers. To expand our efforts to include pre-service teachers, a group within the department has formed with the stated goals of increasing the number of highly qualified physics teachers by expanding recruitment efforts and by working closely with faculty in the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College to make significant reforms to the physics teaching curriculum.
