Deadlines Approaching

High School Physics Teacher Grant Application Deadline Approaching
Each year grant(s) are given to high school physics teachers whose proposal results in a better teaching practice, enhanced student understanding and interest, and/or increased enrollment.

The proposal submissions usually involve innovative ideas such as a new teaching method or an adaptation of an existing idea.

This year’s deadline is December 1, 2008. Details regarding the specifics and content of the proposal can be found at http://www.aapt.org/Grants/hsgrant.cfm

AAPT wants to encourage high school teachers to experiment and improve on their teaching practices. It is the society’s belief that as teaching practice improves, physics enrollment and excitement among students can increase. AAPT hopes that this grant provides the funds to kick start the implementation of these practices.
