2022
Tired of virtual PD? Need some F2F collaboration and rejuvenation for next year? Join us after the AAPT conference, July 13-15, 2022, in Grand Rapids, MI for 3 days of awesome PTRA led professional development with your physics friends.
There will be two strands of sessions for current teachers, pre service teachers, or PD providers, one designed for grades 3-8 and one for 8-12.
You may select one strand or mix and match. The choice is yours until the sessions fill. Registration is free but is required to be able to order supplies (for you to take back to the classroom) and ensure safe distancing.
Descriptions of each session will be posted soon but include topics from kinematics to black holes and climate change! You won’t want to miss this unique opportunity because there is something for everyone!!

April 2022 The regional AAPT meeting (SACS) will be held April 2. A workshop will be provided by Ann Robinson. March 2022 There are multiple sessions being given at the national NSTA meeting in Houston and the TSAAPT meeting in Abilene. TSAAPT sessions are March 10-12 and the presenters are Janie Head and Kenric Davies. NSTA sessions are March 30-April 2. PTRAs helping with the sessions include Jan Mader, Emma Smith, Kenric Davies, Janie Head, Tommi Holsenbeck, Stacy Gwartney, Cathy Barthelemy, and Karen Matsler. November 2021 November 5-MAST conference, presentation by Steven Henning November 11-12 Members of TSAAPT will be providing several sessions at the Texas Conference for Advancement of Science Teaching (CAST). Nov. 11: 2:30-3:30 PM The Golden Rules of Quantum. Session 5074 Nov 11: 4-5PM Where is the Quantum in Chemistry? Session 5073 Nov. 12: 9:30-10:30AM Malus Law and Mutual Exclusive States. Session 5075 Nov. 12: 2:30-3:30 PM Wave Particle Duality Introduction Session 5076 July 2021--NSF is funding a workshop on QIS. Since the participants will receive a stipend there will be a limited number of participants. For more information go to quantumforall.org April 24: A NES/PTRA workshop will focus on how a NSF project is providing an opportunity for educators to learn principles and applications of QIS (Quantum Information Science). The objective of the session is to strengthen background knowledge and provide some activities that can be used in the classroom. QIS Core concepts include superposition, qubits, entanglement, cryptography etc. For more information contact Steve Henning physfsh@gmail.com November 2021 November 5-MAST conference, presentation by Steven Henning November 11-12 Members of TSAAPT will be providing several sessions at the Texas Conference for Advancement of Science Teaching (CAST).
