Physics Teachers Alliance Meeting in Planning Stage

But we cannot do it without support of local physics teachers.

by Phil Womble

Doug Jenkins of Warren Central High School sharing a demonstration at the Physics Teachers Alliance in Spring 2001.Due to scheduling conflicts with KSTA and low response, the Fall 2001 Physics Teachers Alliance meeting was cancelled.

Physics Teachers Alliance is a group that meets once a semester to discuss teaching techniques, issues for teachers and general topics of interest to physics teachers. There are no membership fees or dues. The WKU Department of Physics and Astronomy provides only space, food, and logistical support. It is a meeting for teachers by teachers.

We want to schedule another meeting in Spring 2002 but we need to avoid the scheduling problems that happened this fall. Also, we want to show off some of our facilities such as the newly renovated Bell Observatory and the Applied Physics Institute.

So, what can you do?  Call us at 270-745-4357 or email Dr. Phil Womble at womble@wku.edu if you are interested in attending.
