Ball State University

The focus of the Ball State’s PhysTEC program has been to concentrate on the recruitment of middle school science teachers, the reform of the introductory algebra-based physics courses taken by these students, and the development of an effective induction and mentoring program for newly certified physics teachers. The Physics Department at Ball State has produced over five secondary physics teachers per year during the PhysTEC project period – more than any other school in Indiana. In addition, Ball State graduates approximately 300 elementary education majors a year, each of whom takes the Physical Science Concepts for Teachers course. Ball State University is considering a campaign to raise money for permanent, institutionally funded TIRs in multiple STEM departments.
