Welcome to A TIME for PHYSICS FIRST!A-TIME for Physics First is formulated with the immediate (3-year) goal of designing and implementing a professional development curriculum for teachers to teach Physics First in 9th grade classrooms. The project's long-term goal is to increase the proficiency of students in science as evidenced by MAP scores, increase the number of highly qualified physics/physical science teachers, and to increase students' interest and success in science / engineering degrees. Professional development will be delivered through 3-week summer academies followed by academic year support. The academy will target 75 9th grade Missouri teachers from partner districts. Secondary targets will be 15 math teachers and 15 administrators from the same districts, who will personally experience the academy and help support Physics First during the school year. Topical foci for the academy will be:
