The Status of Geaux Teach: Adventures in Revamping the Secondary Education Physics Concentration

COFFEE_KLATCH  · Invited

Abstract

For the past five years, L.S.U. has been engaged in revamping its secondary education science teaching program for its science majors. Our new program, Geaux Teach, (www.lsu.edu/secondaryed/) is modeled after the GoTeach program at U.T. Austin. This status report will discuss our prior program, how we got started, where we are now, what is left to do, and the changes we have seen.

*In collaboration with Linda Allen, LSU, Dept. of Chemistry; Sharon Besson, LSU, Cain Center for STEM Literacy; Patti Exner, LSU, College of Education; Karla Lemoine, LSU, College of Science; and E. William Wischusen, LSU, Dept. of Biological Sciences.
