Endorsing Institutions

In 1999, societies, colleges, universities, laboratories, and other organizations came together to endorse a joint statement from the American Institute of Physics and most of its member societies, including the American Physical Society (APS) and the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT). This statement called for physics departments to actively improve the training of K-12 physics teachers. In 2001, the PhysTEC collaboration was created to address the need for qualified physics teachers.

PhysTEC asks that organizations wishing to join us also express their support for this statement.
