Faculty of SUNY Buffalo State College (BSC), SUNY Jamestown Community College, Buffalo Public Schools, the BSC Center for Excellence in Urban and Rural Education, and other SUNY colleges throughout New York State are working to create, institutionalize and populate model programs and opportunities necessary to significantly increase the number of preK-12 teachers who are certified and well-qualified to teach physical science and physics. This project improves the quality of pre-service teacher preparation, and continued professional growth for teachers in Western New York and throughout New York State. This project is making particular efforts to recruit and support under-represented and minority populations into the teaching profession via the provision of targeted scholarships, assistantships and student wage opportunities. Project activities include significant expansion of BSC graduate summer workshop courses in physics and physical science content. These courses are taught via reformed teaching pedagogy to create a summer academy of graduate credit courses offered to as many as 90 teachers and teacher candidates each summer. Project instruction reinforces the development of standards-based, student-centered constructivist-inquiry teaching strategies and Physics Education Research (PER)-informed pedagogical methods. Summer academy offerings support a variety of alternative tracks to certification. Project activities also include developing and promoting a chain of experiences extending from grade school through master teacher experiences promoting physics and science teacher recruitment, preparation, certification, induction, professional development and support. The project is creating a set of teacher preparation models transferable both to other colleges and universities specializing in teacher preparation and will be published and disseminated in journals and at relevant local and national conferences.

纽约州立大学布法罗州立学院 (BSC)、纽约州立大学詹姆斯敦社区学院、布法罗公立学校、BSC 城乡教育卓越中心以及纽约州其他纽约州立大学学院的教员正在努力创建、制度化和推广必要的示范项目和机会，以显着增加经过认证且具备教授物理科学和物理学资格的 preK-12 教师的数量。 该项目提高了职前教师准备的质量，并促进纽约州西部和整个纽约州教师的持续专业发展。 该项目特别努力通过提供有针对性的奖学金、助学金和学生工资机会，招募和支持代表性不足的群体和少数族裔进入教学行业。项目活动包括显着扩展 BSC 研究生暑期讲习班课程的物理和物理科学内容。 这些课程通过改革后的教学法进行教授，旨在创建一个暑期研究生学分课程学院，每年夏天为多达 90 名教师和教师候选人提供课程。 项目指导加强了基于标准、以学生为中心的建构主义探究教学策略和物理教育研究（PER）指导的教学方法的发展。 暑期学院课程支持多种认证替代途径。 项目活动还包括开发和推广从小学到大师级教师经验的一系列经验，促进物理和科学教师的招聘、准备、认证、入职、专业发展和支持。 该项目正在创建一套教师培训模型，可移植到其他专门从事教师培训的学院和大学，并将在期刊以及相关的地方和国家会议上发表和传播。
