The American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) offers professional development for K-12 physics and physical science teachers through its Physics Teaching Resource Agents (PTRA), a group of master teachers with over 40 years of experience. PTRAs provide high-quality STEM, NGSS, and physics training that has positively impacted thousands of educators and students.

The PTRA program, recipient of the 2011 APS Excellence in Physics Education Award and supported by NSF, continues to develop resources for teaching advanced topics like quantum physics and black holes. Research shows that students of PTRA-trained teachers perform better. If you're interested in providing top-tier professional development in physics, contact us to explore workshop options tailored to your needs. Workshops cover a wide range of topics, from NGSS to STEM integration, and can be customized to fit your schedule.
