CONTACT NETWORK
v Network of STEM-focused high schools across the US
- US News & World Report list of top STEM Schools
- National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of
Mathematics, Science and Technology (NCSSSMST)
v Organized by state and region v Physics contacts at each school (teachers, etc.)
- Contact info taken from school websites

NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS
v Task: Arrange the NGSS in a way that is useful to physics teachers v Flow chart of the physics-related performance expectations
- To see how well they lead into one another
- To see how cohesive the standards are altogether

PTRA DOCUMENTS
v PTRA-Physics Teaching Resource Agents v Identified parts of old PTRA documents that needed updating
- NGSS
- Pedagogy
v Additions to some documents
- Sections on electronics
SLIDE 11
EXTRA WORK
v Worked with new AAPT staff member (Rebecca Vieyra) v Compiled list of physics teaching resources for elementary school classrooms v Found a lack of resources for younger grades
SLIDE 12
FINAL THOUGHTS
v The contact network will be a good resource for AAPT to communicate with STEM-focused high schools v The flow chart will be a good resource for teachers in districts/ states adopting the NGSS v Physics is under-represented in elementary science education
