The American Physical Society (APS), in partnership with the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) and the American Institute of Physics (AIP) plans to establish a program that will dramatically improve the preparation of physics and physical science teachers, nation-wide. This project will increase the role of physics departments, in collaboration with education departments, to create more and better-prepared future teachers. The PhysTEC staff will negotiate signed subcontracts and a detailed Scope of Work from each of the preliminary Primary Program Institutions (PPIs) sites. The selection of PPIs will be based on the individual institution's commitment to become actively involved with teacher preparation reform as demonstrated by their degree of effectiveness (success) with previous efforts. The preliminary PPIs initially chosen will include a mix of very large and smaller institutions, as well as, one Historically Black College (HBCU). A small conference will also be scheduled in the fall 2000 in Washington, D.C. If the grant is awarded, planning and hiring of the Teacher-in-Residence will commence at each site during the spring and summer months of 2001. The full program of course revision and departmental changes would begin in the fall 2001. This project is co-funded by the NSF Division of Undergraduate Education, Division of Elementary, Secondary, and Informal Education, Division of Materials Research, and the Division of Physics.

美国物理学会（APS）与美国物理教师协会（AAPT）和美国物理研究所（AIP）合作，计划建立一个项目，该项目将大大改善全国范围内物理和物理科学教师的准备。该项目将加强物理系的作用，与教育部门合作，培养更多和更好的未来教师。PhysTEC工作人员将与每个初步的主要计划机构（PPI）地点协商签订分包合同和详细的工作范围。选择教师培训方案时，将根据个别院校积极参与教师培训改革的承诺，这一承诺可以从它们以往努力的有效程度（成功程度）中得到证明。 最初选择的初步PPI将包括非常大和较小的机构，以及一个历史上的黑人学院（HBCU）。 还将于2000年秋季在华盛顿，华盛顿特区举行一次小型会议。如果获得赠款，将于2001年春季和夏季开始在每个地点规划和雇用驻校教师。2001年秋季将开始全面修订课程和进行部门改革。该项目由NSF本科教育部，小学，中学和非正式教育部，材料研究部和物理部共同资助。
