On April 19-20, 2024 Illinois Physics hosted more than 45 teachers across Illinois for the 2024 Spring AAPT Meeting, organized by Morten Lundsgaard, Coordinator of Physics Teacher Development.  The meeting was kickstarted by an IOLab workshop, followed by several speakers from Southern Illinois University, Illinois State University, Romeoville High School, Parkland College, and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.  The full program can be found at https://sites.google.com/view/illinois-section-aapt/meeting-archive/spring-2024.

IPaSS & IS-AAPT

Some teachers who are part of the IPaSS initiative facilitated several of the workshops for other teachers attending the IS-AAPT meeting, including several related to IOLabs and how to use them in the classroom.

"It was a wonderful opportunity to get the best and brightest physics teachers from across the state together to discuss new and innovative ways to teach physics to future generations," said Lundsgaard.
