Cultivating a Passion for Physics: Everyday Actions for Developing Your Students’ Physics Identity
Led by: Catherine Garland
In this workshop, learn how to help students construct a physics identity where they see themselves as physicists and grow their confidence in understanding its value and application in a variety of STEM fields. Participants will explore a range of pedagogical approaches from small teacher actions, to how lab groups are chosen, goal setting and planning strategies, and ways to integrate research-based interventions in the classrooms. The workshop will also provide a space for teachers to reflect on their own physics and STEM identities, and examples of what educators can do to help shape and nurture these identities.
Pizza Lunch for all at 1pm!
