This report presents the results of 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. To support other institutions in emulating these successful programs, the study identified common characteristics of such model programs. These characteristics are embodied in a new tool, the Physics Teacher Education Program Analysis (PTEPA) Rubric. The rubric enables...
More DescriptionThis report presents the results of 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. To support other institutions in emulating these successful programs, the study identified common characteristics of such model programs. These characteristics are embodied in a new tool, the Physics Teacher Education Program Analysis (PTEPA) Rubric. The rubric enables characterization of physics teacher education programs and is intended to provide programs with feedback, to guide programs in self-reflection toward improvement, and to provide a means to characterize program growth. This report documents the validation, use, and interpretation of the PTEPA Rubric. Further information about the PTEPA Rubric can be found at http://phystec.org/thriving.
