Workshop Series for New Physics Faculty

物理（13）该项目包括一系列的讲习班，为新的物理教师提供本科教学增强活动在一个集中的为期四天的讲习班伴随着后续活动的持续计划，寻求巩固和扩大讲习班的收益。观众是新聘的物理教师，通常是在他们最初的终身职位的前三年。该研讨会的目标是在项目期间涉及美国四年制学院和大学物理教师总数的20-25%，因此该计划对整个美国的物理教学产生了重大影响。这些活动以几种方式扩大：（1）年度方案的规模从50人增加到70人，邀请所有四年制学院和大学的教师参加。(2)沿着AAPT，美国物理学会（APS）是该计划的联合赞助商，并在后续活动中发挥了重要作用。(3)美国天文学会（AAS）也赞助了该计划，天文学系被邀请提名参与者，大约10名天文学家被列入年度参与者。AAS也在促进后续活动方面进行了分享。(4)有一个国家指导委员会对该方案进行监督。后续活动是该计划特别重要的组成部分。通过在AAPT，APS和AAS的国家和地区会议上安排后续会议，这些讲习班的参与者可以参加与改进教学和新教师面临的一般问题有关的讨论。通过这种方式，该项目促进了前参与者对这些主题的持续积极兴趣，并将未能参加研讨会的新教师以及正在考虑教师职业的博士后和高级研究生带入讨论。因此，该计划将国家物理学和天文学社区的大量资源用于本科教学的发展。

Physics (13) This project consists of a series of workshops for new physics faculty that provide undergraduate teaching enhancement activities in a concentrated four-day workshop accompanied by a continuing program of follow-up activities that seek to solidify and expand the gains of the workshop. The audience is newly-hired physics faculty, usually in the first three years of their initial tenure-track position. The workshops aim to involve 20-25% of the entire number of U.S. physics faculty hires at four-year colleges and universities during the project, and thus the program has a significant impact on physics teaching throughout the U.S. The project is based on prior workshops. Those activities are expanded in several ways: (1) The size of the annual program is being increased from 50 to 70 participants, and faculty from all 4-year colleges and universities are invited. (2) Along with AAPT, the American Physical Society (APS) is a joint sponsor of the program and plays a significant role in the follow-up activities. (3) The American Astronomical Society (AAS) is also sponsoring the program, departments of astronomy are being invited to nominate participants, and about 10 astronomers are included among the annual participants. The AAS is also sharing in promoting the follow-up activities. (4) There is a national steering committee to provide oversight to the program. The follow-up activities are a particularly important component of this program. By scheduling followup sessions at national and regional meetings of the AAPT, APS, and AAS, the participants in these workshops can participate in discussions relevant to the improvement of teaching and to general problems faced by new faculty. In this way the project promotes a continuing active interest in these topics among former participants and also brings into the discussions new faculty who were not able to attend the Workshops as well as postdocs and advanced graduate students who are contemplating faculty careers. The program thus enlists a significant share of the resources of the national physics and astronomy communities to the advancement of undergraduate teaching.
