Meeting on Saturday

We are holding a special meeting Saturday, Sept. 7, to discuss how TAPT can best support physics in the K-12 schools, including middle school. We will be considering the new state standards and a model of professional development for physics and physical science teachers, especially those who have come to physics teaching through varied paths.

We'll meet at 8:30 (notice it's a half-hour earlier than our usual time) at J.D. Garcia's house. I'll bring some snacks, bring something if it's convenient for you, but don't make that the focus. We want to work on bringing physics into the curriculum.

Please reply to this email if you have any questions. 

Future meetings: this conversation may continue to the next Saturday if we so desire. Our regular September meeting has been postponed in favor of the AzAAPT meeting September 28th at Phoenix College. More on that soon. Our TAPT breakfast meeting, with a great speaker, will be October 19th at the U of A. Our speaker is Dr. Sam Gralla, of the U of A Physics Department, and he will talk about the latest imaging of a black hole, and how to interpret the image.

Thanks for all your participation and suggestions and interest. See you Saturday, or one of the Saturdays this month.

Best, 

Karie
