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.
