Meet Anne
AAPT has been a part of my professional life from very early on, and it has made all the difference. Yes, teaching physics is fun, and I love working at Eckerd, but connecting to the broader physics teaching community has pushed me to think more broadly about the physics classroom. I’ve taught introductory physics for over 25 years, and because of AAPT, I always have something new to try that will bring fresh energy to the class or lab. And, when I am teaching a class I haven’t taught in years (this year it was Quantum), I find just the resources I need from others– either at conferences or via ComPADRE’s various collections.Social Media
