Show Abstract
Each year since 1993, the AAPT has shown its appreciation of excellence in teaching at the pre-college and college levels by selecting two teachers who have made outstanding contributions to physics teaching. The recipients, AAPT members whose primary responsibility is teaching, are chosen to give a lecture at the AAPT National Summer Meeting. In addition, the teachers receive an award of $2000, travel expenses to the meeting, and a certificate. The knowledge and experience of these teachers offer opportunities for beginning teachers to “learn from the masters.” Here are some brief introductions to the honorees from the last two years and some comments from them that you might find helpful.
