IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT AS TEACHING PRACTICE IMPROVES, THEN PHYSICS ENROLLMENT AND EXCITEMENT AMONG STUDENTS INCREASE. AS A RESULT, WE OFFER THE HIGH SCHOOL PHYSIC TEACHER GRANT. WE HOPE THAT THIS GRANT CAN PROVIDE THE FUNDS TO KICK START THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE PRACTICES. THE GRANT(S) ARE GIVEN EACH YEAR TO THE TEACHERS WHOSE PROPOSAL MEETS THE GOAL OF THE GRANT. THAT IS, THE PROCEDURE SHOULD RESULT IN BETTER TEACHING PRACTICE, STUDENT UNDERSTANDING AND INTEREST, AND/OR INCREASED ENROLLMENT. ALSO, THE PROPOSAL SHOULD CONTAIN SOME INNOVATIVE IDEAS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE PROPOSAL MAY USE A NEW TEACHING METHOD OR AN ADAPTATION OF AN EXISTING IDEA. THE AAPT EXECUTIVE BOARD OFFERS SCHOLARSHIPS FOR FUTURE HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICS TEACHERS. THESE SCHOLARSHIPS, SUPPORTED BY AN ENDOWMENT FUNDED BY BARBARA LOTZE, ARE AVAILABLE ONLY TO US CITIZENS ATTENDING US SCHOOLS, UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS ENROLLED, OR PLANNING TO ENROLL, IN PHYSICS TEACHER PREPARATION CURRICULA. AND HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS ENTERING SUCH PROGRAMS ARE ELIGIBLE. SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS RECEIVE A STIPEND OF UP TO $2,000. THE SCHOLARSHIP MAY BE GRANTED TO AN INDIVIDUAL FOR EACH OF FOUR YEARS. APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED AT ANY TIME AND WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR RECOMMENDATION TO THE EXECUTIVE BOARD AT EACH AAPT WINTER MEETING. ALL APPLICATIONS IN WHICH ALL MATERIALS, INCLUDING LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION, ARE RECEIVED BY DECEMBER 1 WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR RECOMMENDATION AT THE WINTER MEETING OF THE AAPT EXECUTIVE BOARD.
