How to Improve Content Coverage

Using the “Most Aligned” Set of Courses, current course requirements can address up to 55.56% coverage of science topics.

The topics still lacking coverage include:

• Scientific and Engineering Practices
• Forces, Waves, and Energy
• Space Systems
• Engineering Design

To improve content coverage, the institution or teacher preparation program may need to require additional courses for their candidates to achieve coverage across all topics. Our analysts identified the following courses to cover these topics:

• Scientific and Engineering Practices: No applicable courses found in NCTQ's analysis
• Forces, Waves, and Energy: PH 104, PH 104L
• Forces, Waves, and Energy: PH 114, PH 114L
• Forces, Waves, and Energy: PH 115, PH 115L
• Forces, Waves, and Energy: PH 201, PH 201L
• Forces, Waves, and Energy: PH 202, PH 202L
• Space Systems: PH 101, PH 101L
• Engineering Design: No applicable courses found in NCTQ's analysis
