Building the Sonoma State University Physics Teacher Pipeline

We present an array of changes that represent our concerted effort to recruit students into high school physics teaching pathways and to develop a supportive structure for students to gain teaching experiences during their undergraduate years at Sonoma State University. These include: the creation of an active PhysTEC community on campus including a part-time Teacher-in-Residence; The establishment of a Teacher Advisory Group that we call Physics in our Neighborhood (PION); the development of recruiting materials, including a well-received promotional poster for our department with a teaching focus and participation of our students; the coordination with our campus tutoring program to incorporate Physics majors as Supplemental Instructors following concepts of the successful CU-Boulder Learning Assistant model; and the incorporation of PhysTEC inspired ideas in our recent Department of Physics & Astronomy Program Review and subsequent program changes.
