The document summarizes revisions made to the introductory physics sequence at Central Washington University. It describes how the department grew from around 20 physics majors in 2007-2008 to around 80 majors in 2012-2013.

1) The original logic model for a teacher preparation program assumed students would be trained to use technology, observe faculty modeling its use, and gain confidence using it during student teaching. However, results found lower than expected technology use.
2) Further evaluation found faculty reported little technology modeling, students had low confidence in subject-specific tools, and student teaching portfolios showed minimal technology use despite student reports.
3) A survey of graduates found most teachers regularly used technology for instruction, contradicting earlier results, suggesting self-reports and artifacts like portfolios may not accurately capture technology integration.Embedding and sustaining inclusive STEM practices

A balanced diet and regular exercise are both needed to maintain good health. Our bodies have defenses against microbes that can cause illness, but vaccination provides additional protection. Factors like diet, lifestyle, and genetics all influence health and disease risk. Maintaining a balanced diet with proper nutrients and exercising regularly typically leads to better health than diets that are unbalanced or sedentary lifestyles.Sports Science_Research_Presentation evening
