Rundquist BY Stephanie Akin NEWARK -- Emmanuel Ikheloa stood The Record at the front of a Newark classroom, STAFF WRITER carefully measuring a glass marble and A new way of teaching physics — a metal spring. Then, with a "ready, set, developed by a Bergen County teacher — go!" he flicked the trigger on a table-top could offer a solution to American students' marble launcher and sent the small ball poor performance in math and science. flying across the room. N.J. educator develops new formula for teaching physics An award-winning teacher in New Jersey's Bergen County has developed a way to teach physics that relies heavily on algebra, allowing physics to be taught before biology and chemistry. Robert Goodman's physics curriculum is being piloted in 21 New Jersey schools and is becoming a national model for science education. March 11, 2010

Editor's Notes
- A Foundation created and initially funded by the NJEA in 2006 Its mission is to empower teachers to lead change so that all children have access to a high quality education One aspect of that mission is to work with teachers to spread and improve successful programs so that all students benefit
- Significant continual improvement in quantitative measures: AP exams taken; AP exams passed; state tests passed; and SAT subject test scores High levels of student interest in science and math based on elective choices and college majors High student and teacher morale An ability to “grow its own” great teachers on an ongoing basis along with low turnover of current teachers
