Aspiring to Lead: Physics Teacher Leaders Influencing Science Education Policy
Abstract
"Teachers are increasingly recognizing the need-and their power-to advocate on behalf of the teaching profession for the sake of their students and communities. National organizations like AAPT have a key role in amplifying teachers' voices. Building on the strategic vision for K-12 physics teacher professional development of the 'Aspiring to Lead' report, AAPT broke new ground by supporting teams of educators in addressing local- and state-level issues related to physics education."Related Report: Aspiring to Lead - Engaging K-12 Teachers as Agents of National Change in Physics Education
