Enhance Your Institution’s Physics Teacher Education Program
Thank you to all who joined us!
Nearly 90 participants joined us for the nation's largest meeting dedicated to the education of future physics teachers. This year’s PhysTEC Conference was hybrid, meaning there were in-person and virtual experiences for attendees to enjoy. Among these were plenary sessions, panel sessions, and table discussions led by physics teacher preparation experts. It was lovely to connect with you all in Las Vegas and virtually while we came together to shape current and future physics teacher education. Our conversations revolved heavily around:
- Physics teacher needs and support
- Diversity, equity, and inclusion skill building for faculty and future teachers
- Community building and collaboration
