Physics Teacher SOS: Supporting New Teachers without Pushing an Agenda
Baird, Dean
Physics Teacher, v51 n5 p286-287 May 2013
Few workshops for teachers focus primarily on instruction methods for basic high school physics. In Northern California, Physics Teacher SOS (PTSOS) has gained popularity doing just that. PTSOS workshops are directed toward early-career science teachers, though veterans are welcome too. The program is not influenced by scientific supply companies, government institutions, or power utilities. Support is entirely private, enough so that tuition is free.
