SUNY Buffalo State College Summer Physics Teachers’ Academy: The First Decade Alyssa Cederman , Dan MacIsaac, David Abbott, Kathleen Falconer, & David Henry Introduction to SUNY Buffalo State Summer Physics Teachers’ Academy The SUNY Buffalo State Summer Physics Teachers’ Academy began in 2002, offering a backbone of three 6 credit courses: Process Skills in Teaching Physics (PHY 510), Powerful Ideas in Quantitative Modeling: Force, Motion, and Energy (PHY 620), and Powerful Ideas in Quantitative Modeling: Electricity and Magnetism (PHY 622). These graduate level courses focus on physics content at the undergraduate level (necessitating math at the undergraduate level) and pedagogical content knowledge at the graduate level. Pedagogical content knowledge includes physics education research (PER) and science education research (SER) findings and science teaching methods. The programs’ physics content follows state requirements and PER findings, and therefore strays from traditional physics course curricula, such as allocating minimal time to thermodynamics and a large portion of time to modern physics, as demanded by the state via PER-informed curricula. Modeled after the nationally famous Modeling Physics workshops held at Arizona State University, the 600-level summer academy courses are fifteen days long and intense. Participants assume both student and teacher roles as they work through PER-informed curricula such as Hestenes’ distinguished and well researched Modeling Physics curriculum, the AAPT’s Powerful Ideas in Physical Science (PIPS) and Goldberg’s Constructing Physics Understanding (CPU) curricula. As at ASU, these courses are team taught by NY master physics teachers and BSC physics faculty. PHY 510 is a workshop locally developed to support new teachers who were assigned physics sections without physics certification, though it is annually tailored to the background of the participants. It focuses on “meeting NYSED requirements through activities NY master physics teachers have selected on an ad-hoc basis, leavened with formal PER and SER touchstone activities. “ The summer academy courses are offered for both non-degree teachers, who seek professional development or improved physics teaching skills, as well as degree candidates of the M.S. Ed. – Physics programs. Itinerantly there are other PHY5xx courses offered for elementary, middle and high school teachers. Below are authors of this poster with a board full of physics teacher candidates, instructors, and alumni. On the right is a 2012 report that recognized the SUNY-BSC physics teacher preparation programs as amongst 11 outstanding programs in the nation. The First Decade: Data, Experiences, and Insights Some research findings that been validated through the SUNY Buffalo State Summer Physics Teachers’ Academy are RTOP, curricula, and pedagogical techniques. The instructors have been assessed using Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP). Some of the pedagogical tools used are reading logs; whiteboards, which encourage class discussion; student-created operational definitions; creation and analysis of simple apparatus; daily reflective journals; learning commentaries, teacher hat-student hat role-play, learning content in student mode and analysis in teacher mode. The images below illustrate varying degrees of reflection in journals, and a class whiteboard discussion. 76 Graduates: 22 PHA Graduates 54 PHS Graduates 20 Active Candidates: 15 PHS candidates 5 PHA candidates 96 Graduates and Active Candidates 36 Inactive Candidates 165 Non-majors taking summer courses 297 Total 2006 9Barber 10Bargy 11Barnard 12Baughan Camden Renee Chelsea Richard 2011 2011 2011 2011 2012 2012 2004 13Behen Amanda 2013 14Behrens Neil 2013 15Benson Kevin 2002 2004 2003Undeclared 16Beres Kelly 2006 17Bickoff Ira 2005 2002 2003Undeclared 18Biernat 19Boettcher 20Brackenridge Michael Joseph Amy 2010 2009 PHS Inactive Undeclared Undeclared 21Bresett Michelle 2005 Undeclared 052 FHammond NY 22Brooks Jane Undeclared 23Bruchhauser Kathryn 24Bryan Phillip 042 F Franklin 062 F Square 072 M West 042 M Seneca West 062 F Seneca 2007Undeclared 2009 2006 Undeclared 2007Undeclared 2003Undeclared Joe 2002 26Bush Jamie 2008 2010 2009Undeclared 27Butzek Cole T.

Heather 3Aldridge 86Gedeon Summer Physics Teacher Academy community & recognition: The Summer Physics Teachers’ Academy’s 297 participants are 98% New York State residents. The female to male ratio is approximately 1:3. The reformed teaching and student-centered courses attracted a wide variety of participants, as shown by the list on the far right of this poster. In recent years, the course enrollments of the summer academy have dropped due to the slow economy and local school districts’ budgets. Note that all three courses were offered in 2009-2011. 1Abramo 2Airey 59 Lessons Learned & Reflections 510 Year Every summer academy course is evaluated. Attitudinal and conceptual content instruments are administered pre- and postinstruction. FCI, FMCE, TUG-K, CTSR, BEMA, CSEM, DIRECT, STEBI-B and MCTP have all been used. Our best results include PHY 622 DIRECT 2010 <g> = 0.52, PHY 620 2010 FCME <g> = 0.54, and PHY 620 2010 TUG-K <g> = 0.58, when we had relatively small class size and particularly strongdiscourse. LAST SUNY Buffalo State College offers the M.S. Ed. – Physics (PHS) as well as the M.S. Ed. – Physics : Alternative Certification through NY Transitional B (PHA). The PHS is often sought by working STEM teachers seeking a second certification in physics (NYSED requires that physics teachers have 24-30cr of College PHY courses). The PHA offers an initial certification for science, technology, engineering, and math professionals who have decided to change their careers. Alternative certification refers to a teacher certification program that differs from standard college programs of teacher preparation, usually by avoiding the extended guided field experience of student teaching. The PHA at SUNY Buffalo State College requires a year long mentorship for early field experience, and some educational courses in addition to the courses required by the PHS. Both the PHS and the PHA degrees require participants to take all three courses from the summer academy. A large proportion (about 2/3) of summer academy participants are non-degree seeking students who seek NYSED physics certification only. n The SUNY Buffalo State Summer Physics Teachers' Academy, partially modeled after the Arizona State University Summer Modeling workshops, has run since summer 2002, serving approximately 300 individual teachers seeking NYSED physics certification, including almost 100 M.S.Ed. (Physics) degree graduates and candidates from the Buffalo State Physics Department. Each summer between two and five graduate credit teacher workshop courses have been offered, serving as many as 30 students per class. We share demographic data, insights, and experiences from the first decade of our summer academy, including recommendations and pitfalls for others interested in creating summer academies for physics teachers.
