PROGRAM RATIONALE (please review the Program Guidelines for directions):
I would like to work with physics teachers to make physics more accessible to and understandable for students. This requires knowledge of both how students learn and understand physics as well as how teachers learn and implement new teaching strategies, methods or tools. By taking classes within the areas of Science Education Research and Teaching and Teacher Education, it gives me the knowledge and experience to tackle my goal from both the perspective of the student and the teacher.
