Title: Professional Development of High School Physics Teachers


1
Professional Development of High School Physics
Teachers
  • Based in part upon upcoming recommendations of
    the American Association of Physics Teachers
  • (2007 draft document)

2
The Reflective Practitioner
  • Science content is often learned best by one who
    teaches it.
  • Science pedagogy is best improved upon in the
    light of experience.
  • What was I attempting to accomplish?
  • Did I accomplish my goal or objective?
  • What have I learned based on my experience?
  • What should I change?
  • What should I keep the same?
  • How might I further improve my practice?
  • Where can I go to get new ideas?
