Teacher SOS
If you're
a new teacher or maybe contemplating a career
teaching physics, or possibly new to teaching
physics, or even a veteran teacher looking to learn
some new tricks of the trade to revitalize your
curriculum, I encourage you to attend one of 3
day-long Physics Teacher SOS (PTSOS) workshops.
You'll meet other like teachers from all over
Northern California to interact and network with.
They are very informative and a lot of fun, and
thanks to a generous grant from the Brown
Foundation, they are absolutely FREE! Contact me
(pablo@laserpablo.com)
or our PTSOS Outreach Coordinator Stephanie
Finander (sfinander@sbcglobal.net)
for more information. You can also visit our
website at www.ptsos.org.
