Review for American Association Of Physics Teachers Inc, College Park, MD, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

After I received the Excellence in Pre-College Teaching Award from the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) in 2003, I was asked what advice I would give new teachers. After about ten minutes of thought, I realized that the answer was simple: "Join AAPT!" Why? Because most of what has helped me to improve as a physics teachers has come from AAPT workshops and AAPT meetings. AAPT is a great forum for physics teachers at all levels to interact and improve the teaching of physics. I couldn't imagine being a physics teacher without it.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

participating in Physics Teaching Resource Agent workshops and national meetings, also by writing for AAPT journals.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

There are no realistic changes that I really want to make.

Role:  Volunteer & I have served AAPT in the past as a member of the Executive Board and as a member of several committees. I continue to serve as a Physics Teaching Resource Agent in AAPT's PTRA program.
