Researchers at Seattle Pacific University are creating a Video Resource for Professional Development of University Physics Educators that is based on compelling classroom video of best-practices university physics instruction and are disseminating the Resource for professional development of university physics educators, including four-year university faculty, two-year-college faculty, graduate teaching assistants, and undergraduate learning assistants. This resource creation and dissemination is occurring in tandem with needs analysis for the various populations, so that as the researchers learn how best to serve, for example, two-year-college faculty, iterative improvements to the resource will reflect that understanding.The video workshops produced for this project provide structured opportunities for physics educators to examine critical moments in real university classrooms. The Video Resource offers users a view of other institutions' transformed courses, supporting and expanding the home institution's vision of its own instructional improvement. The project showcases a variety of exemplary instructional formats including Tutorials in Introductory Physics, Modeling Instruction, Peer Instruction, and Open Source Tutorials, expanding on the success of a prior project aimed at undergraduate learning assistants.Dissemination is a major activity in this project and is taking place primarily through the American Physical Society, the American Association of Physics Teachers, and online at the Physics Education Research User's Guide. This project facilitates the implementation of instructional strategies that reflect advances in what is known about teaching and learning, improving physics education for a broad group of undergraduates - including at two-year colleges, where many underrepresented minorities and women experience their first physics and science courses and make critical career choices.

西雅图太平洋大学的研究人员正在为大学物理教育工作者的专业发展创建一个视频资源，该资源基于大学物理教学最佳实践的引人注目的课堂视频，并正在传播大学物理教育工作者的专业发展资源，包括四年制大学教师，两年制大学教师，研究生助教和本科生学习助理。这种资源的创建和传播是与各种人群的需求分析同时进行的，因此，随着研究人员学习如何最好地为两年制大学教师服务，对资源的迭代改进将反映这种理解。为该项目制作的视频研讨会为物理教育工作者提供了结构化的机会，以检查真实的大学课堂中的关键时刻。视频资源为用户提供了其他机构的改造课程的视图，支持和扩大自己的教学改进的家庭机构的愿景。该项目展示了各种示范性的教学形式，包括入门物理教程，建模教学，同伴教学和开源教程，扩大了先前针对本科生学习助理的项目的成功。传播是该项目的主要活动，主要通过美国物理学会，美国物理教师协会，和在线物理教育研究用户指南。该项目有助于实施反映教学和学习方面已知进展的教学战略，改善广大本科生群体的物理教育-包括在两年制学院，许多代表性不足的少数民族和妇女在那里经历了第一次物理和科学课程，并做出了重要的职业选择。
