Development and validation of the Physics Teacher Education Program Analysis (PTEPA) Rubric

written by Rachel E. Scherr and Stephanie Viola Chasteen

The Physics Teacher Education Coalition (PhysTEC) conducted a study of eight diverse thriving physics teacher education programs, defined as programs at large universities that typically graduate five or more physics teachers in a year. The study identified common characteristics of such model programs to support other institutions in emulating them. These characteristics are embodied in a new tool, the Physics Teacher Education Program Analysis (PTEPA) Rubric. This paper documents the development and validation of the PTEPA Rubric as a tool for self-analysis and research. We also document the approach to serve as a potential guide for others who wish to develop evaluative rubrics for complex projects.
