Topical Conference on Critical Issues in Two-Year College Physics and Astronomy

美国物理教师协会将举办一次全国性的 确定两年制大学物理面临的关键问题的会议 以及未来几十年的天文学教师。 判断将 应如何面对和处理这些问题， 将评估现有的和需要的，以及一套 将公布建议。 会议的第二个目标与信息收集有关。 与会者的选择将确保广泛的 来自每种类型的两年制大学的代表，以及来自许多 美国的部分地区。 这样，预计 关于当前实践、学生成果和未来趋势的信息 可以得到 作为这次会议的结果，将成立区域工作队。 他们将优先考虑并准备会议建议， 出版物 他们还将负责 在地方一级落实这些建议。 参与者、受赠者和其他组织将提供 金额相当于约32%的奖励对经营的 项目

The American Association of Physics Teachers will conduct a national conference to define critical issues facing two-year college physics and astronomy faculty today and in the decades to come. Judgments will be formed as to how these issues should be faced and treated, resources available and those to be needed will be assessed, and a set of recommendations will be published. A second conference objective is related to information collection. Conferees will be selected in such a way as to ensure broad representation from each type of two-year college, as well as from many parts of the United States. In this way, it is anticipated that information on current practice, student outcomes, and future trends can be obtained. As a result of the conference, regional task forces will be formed. They will prioritize and prepare conference reocmmendations for publication. They also will be charged with the responsibility of following through on these recommendations at the local level. Participants, the grantee, and other organizations will contribute an amount equal to about 32% of the award toward the operation of the project.
