8 workshop for new physics and astronomy faculty

AmericAN AssociAtioN of Physics teAchers Founded in 1930, AAPT is the premier professional society established to

advance the greater good through physics education. With the support of our

members worldwide, AAPT is an action oriented organization designed to

develop, improve, and promote best practices for physics education as part of

the global need for qualified Science, Technology, engineering, and Mathematics

teachers who will inspire tomorrow’s leaders and decision makers.

We serve our members through networking, publications, and programs, but

also reach out to the larger community of physics and science teachers—current

and future—and we look after issues of significance in science education. Our

national office works closely with our dedicated volunteers around the world to

promote a better understanding of physics at all levels.

AAPT provides networking opportunities through online discussion lists, social

media, the Workshops for New Physics and Astronomy Faculty (with APS and

AAS); Physics Department Chairs Conference (with APS), and our two national

annual meetings. The association supports physics educators through our

publications, the American Journal of Physics and The Physics Teacher; Physical

Review Special topics – Physics Education Research (with APS and the APS

Forum on education) and the eNNOUNCER; NSF-funded programs including

the PeR User’s Guide, the Physics Teacher education Coalition, PhysTeC (with

APS); Physics Teaching Resource Agents institutes; the digital physics library,

ComPADRe (with APS and AIP); Physics Program Reviews, and the student

programs and scholarships that we administer, including the Lotze Scholarship

for Future Teachers.

AmericAN AstroNomicAl society The American Astronomical Society promotes the advancement of astronomy

and closely related branches of science. It was founded in 1899. AAS members

include professional researchers in the astronomical sciences, and also

educators, students, and others interested in the advancement of astronomical

research. The Society operates in five major areas: Publications, Meetings,

education, Public Policy and employment in order to ensure that astronomy

remains healthy and vital for the benefit of our profession and society at large.

AAS publishes The Astrophysical Journal and The Astronomical Journal, which

are among the most important scholarly journals in the field. The Bulletin of the

American Astronomical Society reports the latest institutional developments

and documents the content of AAS and its divisions’ annual meetings. More

information about the Society’s activities and membership are available on the

AAS website, www.aas.org.

AmericAN PhysicAl society With 50,000 members worldwide, the American Physical Society works to

advance and disseminate the knowledge of physics. Since its formation in

1899, it has been dedicated to providing its members and the international

physics community with the latest research results through meetings and the

most highly respected international journals in physics. These journals include

Physical Review Letters, the Physical Review (with a Special Topics series including

a journal on Physics education Research), Reviews of Modern Physics, and its two

newest journals, Physical Review Applied and PRX. The APS conducts more than

20 meetings per year, to connect physicists and disseminate physics knowledge

and information relevant to the community. In addition, APS vigorously lobbies

for funding for physics research and education, provides the physics community

with timely information about government affairs, carries out studies of physics-

based topics of importance to the country, and promotes the interests of the

physics community through extensive public information efforts such as www.

PhysicsCentral.com, a website for the public.

APS is actively involved in programs to improve undergraduate and graduate

education and to improve the preparation of future physics and physical

science teachers through its leadership in the Physics Teacher education

Coalition (www.PhysTeC.org). APS partners with AAPT in PhysTeC and on

numerous other education programs, including the New Faculty Workshop,

and conferences and workshops on education at various levels. For many years

APS has worked to increase diversity in the physics community, and in 2012

launched the APS Bridge Program (www.apsbridgeprogram.org), a national

effort to increase the number of underrepresented minorities that receive a

PhD in Physics. In addition, APS recently began sponsorship of the Conferences

for Undergraduate Women in Physics – regional conferences to encourage

participation of women in the discipline.

AmericAN iNstitute of PhysicsAIP’s mission is to advance, promote and serve the physical sciences for the

benefit of humanity.

AIP offers authoritative information, services, and expertise in physics education

and student programs, science communication, government relations, career

services for science and engineering professionals, statistical research in physics

employment and education, industrial outreach, and the history of physics and

allied fields.

AIP Member Societies cover a broad range of fields in the physical sciences and

collectively represent more than 120,000 scientists, engineers, educators and

students in the global physical sciences community.
