Resources
This is not an exhaustive list of resources related to teaching physics at two-year colleges. If you regularly use a resource and wish to share, please let us know: OPTYCs @ AAPT.org.
Evidence-Based Teaching Guides
Particularly helpful are various peer-reviewed studies that support recommendations, and instructor checklists which provide summaries of different aspects of good teaching.
The Underrepresentation Curriculum Project
A flexible curriculum designed to help students critically examine scientific fields and take action for equity, inclusion and justice.
Science Education Initiative
Includes a collection of instructor resources (plus a handy section on Student Resources), evidence-based instruments to assess teaching, learning, and student attitudes.
Effective Practices for Physics Programs
To support undergraduate (mostly four-year) physics programs, from APS and in collaboration with AAPT, from student retention, improving department climate, and skill-building.
Universal Design for Learning Guidelines
Provides resources to implement the framework for universal design with the goal of developing expert learners.
