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:

• Structure and Properties of Matter
• Space Systems
• Earth's Systems and Processes
• 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:

• Structure and Properties of Matter: CHE 100
• Structure and Properties of Matter: CHE 111
• Space Systems: No applicable courses found in NCTQ's analysis
• Earth's Systems and Processes: GEL 113
• Engineering Design: No applicable courses found in NCTQ's analysis
