#iteachphysics Unfortunate truth. US teachers have less scheduled time out of classroom compared to other countries.

  Physics teachers in the USA and many other countries don't have time for leadership roles [1/2] @RVieyraAEF #iteachphysics

I'd love some feedback from you all for AAPT... #iteachphysics

RVieyraAEF Oct 14 @ 10:48 AM EDT

1/3 An AAPT report authored by 17 teachers (K-8 & HS) attempts to address the ldrship issue. #iteachphysics https://t.co/A31ctdKV09

RVieyraAEF Oct 14 @ 10:48 AM EDT

2/3 AAPT’s report describes identifies leadership priorities: teacher prep/retention, K-12 vertical alignment, & advocacy. #iteachphysics

RVieyraAEF Oct 14 @ 10:48 AM EDT

3/3 The goal is to develop coherent programs that grows teachers’ instructional, association, & policy leadership. #iteachphysics

MissStrunk Oct 14 @ 10:48 AM EDT

Also really important that physics teachers and education researchers work together to bring best methods in the classroom #iteachphysics

#iteachphysics Someone in NYS did her PhD dissertation about the paucity of admins who had been science teachers.

Would be interesting. I know very few principals with physics identity. :-( #iteachphysics

  It would be interesting to know how many physics teachers are members of @NASSP + how many principals are members of @AAPTHQ #iteachphysics

What should programs that build physics teacher leadership through a national professional society like AAPT look like? #iteachphysics

BlackPhysicists - Moderator Oct 14 @ 10:50 AM EDT

I would say the same for superintendents' prof societies @AASAHQ @CCSSO #iteachphysics

PER researchers shares research results, teachers share practical classroom experiences, work together to construct lessons #iteachphysics

Do you think PER researchers could do more to make this sharing happen? And how? #iteachphysics

I agree -- any thoughts on how to get the attention of administrators, who are pulled in so many different directions? #iteachphysics

I you need to include teachers from all levels K-12 and College, you need to include admin, include phys ed researchers #iteachphysics

Where do you think that policy - at any level - is most in need of teacher voice? #iteachphysics

#iteachphysics Encouragement from teacher leaders that helped me for sure. Having a mentor believe you're good enough to help others is 💯.

We need to have lots of people at the table together and respecting each other to make a true impact #iteachphysics

UniverseAndMore Oct 14 @ 10:54 AM EDT

Papers are great, but as you said teachers don't always have time to read them. Breakouts at conventions, and chats like this #iteachphysics

In reply to @danny_doucette, @RVieyraAEF

RVieyraAEF Oct 14 @ 10:55 AM EDT

Agree. Need for higher ed/PER and admins, especially in matters of teacher prep, in-service PD, and K-12 alignment. #iteachphysics

We are looking at the role of mentors esp. in teacher induction and primary/secondary partnerships. #iteachphysics

Also not usually funds to go to meetings to learn abt latest research this is important to consider how we can help #iteachphysics

Agreed. I get education news briefing via email and I can follow links to full papers. That for PE would be phenomenal. #iteachphysics

I wish we could get HS teachers to attend PER events-- a partnering program that connected PER to willing classroom teachers! #iteachphysics

I also wish PER would look at teacher leadership -- so far, very, very little research on physics teacher PD or leadership. #iteachphysics
