[Phys-l] PhysTEC solicitation for new sites- now available



Dear Physics Educators,

The 2011 solicitation for new PhyTEC sites is now available on www.phystec.org. The PhysTEC project, a joint effort of APS and AAPT, has a mission of improving the education of future physics teachers. We will fund approximately three comprehensive sites ($100k/year for 3 years) and three targeted sites ($25k/year for 3 years). Comprehensive sites will be expected to implement the full PhysTEC program and graduate a relatively large number of students qualified to teach physics. Targeted sites will also be expected to establish effective physics teacher education programs, but on a smaller scale. An initial proposal is due October 26 at 5 p.m. local time.

A webinar on October 5 at 3 p.m. EDT will discuss the solicitation and provide an opportunity for Q&A. If you cannot attend the webinar, a recording will be available for viewing at a later time (you should still register to get access). To register for the webinar, go to https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/829585806
