Next Generation Modeling Courses for Teachers (NGMCs)

The NGMCs are graduate-level online asynchronous courses designed for practicing physics and physical science teachers in grades 10-12. NGMCs are jointly supported by the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh Physics and Astronomy program, School of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) and the School of Education and Human Services.

Click Program Overview or access from the left menu for a complete program description.

The NGMCs program is a proud partner with:

• Modeling Teachers International (MTI)
• American Modeling Teachers Association (AMTA)
• National Association of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP).

All NGMCs provide a suitable entry point into the Modeling Method of Physics Instruction and the concepts of Deep Learning in Introductory Physics. The NGMCs program actively seeks international participation.

Interested in obtaining a Master’s degree?  You can use NGMC credits to earn a Master of Science Education degree through the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh Teaching and Learning program (T&L Physics Modeling Program). The degree is 30 credits: 18 credits in topics related to physics teaching (i.e., NGMCs) and 12 credits in topics related to conducting educational research in the classroom. For more information, contact Deb Kneser,  (soehsgrad@uwosh.edu), Teaching and Learning, Graduate Program Coordinator.
