Proposal Title: You are not alone: OPTYCs New Faculty Development Series
Abstract Type: Poster
Abstract: The Organization for Physics at Two-Year Colleges (OPTYCs) and American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) present a 16-month experience designed specifically for Two-Year College (TYC) Physics Faculty in their first six years of TYC teaching. This New Faculty Development Series (NFDS) will support new TYC physics faculty incorporating student-centered active learning, and research-based instructional strategies.  NFDS is an exceptional opportunity that provides new TYC Physics Faculty (1) a foundation in Physics Education Research (PER) with online discussions, (2) a 3-day Immersion Conference to engage in PER-based instructional and inclusive strategies, (3) online mentoring throughout the implementation phase, and (4) a 2-day Commencement Conference in conjunction with a National AAPT Conference.  Cohort 2 will be Spring 2025 – Summer 2026.

This NSF-funded program provides a community to support you and travel funding for the Immersion and Commencement Conferences!
