A query for anyone on this list: do you know of any university that hires a
master high school teacher to teach a "methods of teaching ..." course?

I just read an article on professional development for high school teachers
that mentions Stanford University as doing this. Does anyone know which
department, or a faculty member who would know the details of this?

The Arizona State University department of physics and astronomy hires a
master high school physics teacher to teach a "methods of teaching physics"
course for inservice and preservice teachers. The course is very well
received. I'm writing a paper on this subject for an international
conference on physics education, and would like additional examples.
