Math and Science Teaching Fellows - Funded by Science Foundation Arizona: Over three years, the ASU Math & Science Teaching Fellows project will provide 105 high school science and math teachers with an eight-week combined summer and school year program. In addition, the project will provide specialized leadership training to 10 teachers the PIs select from the larger group.
The Modeling Instruction Program is dedicated to research-based reform of physics instruction at all grade levels
and sustained professional growth and support for physics teachers
This page serves as a portal to various components of the program. The approach to reform of curriculum design and teaching methodology has been guided by a Modeling Theory of Physics Instruction, the focus of educational research by David Hestenes and collaborators since 1980. Implementation through Modeling Workshops for high school teachers was supported by grants from the National Science Foundation from 1989 to 2005. The documented success of workshops and the enthusiastic response of teachers has stimulated institutionalization and expansion of the program through increased involvement of university physics departments.
