The first component is the Physics Teacher Institute (PTI). PTI is a multi-year experience that offers participants a coherent program of study to deepen their physics Discipline Content Knowledge (DCK)[1], Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK)[2] and increase their Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK)[3,4], based on physics education research, and develop leadership skills using the American Association of Physics Teachers/ Physics Teaching Resource Agents (AAPT/PTRA[5]) Professional Development model. Teachers will be exposed to instructional strategies in DCK based on physics education research, and an approach based on the latest teaching methodologies that emphasize an integrated, three-dimensional model consisting of conceptual understanding[6,7] (CU), problem-solving methods[8,9] (PS), and hands-on exploration[10.11] (EX). PTI includes a pre-service element designed to inspire minority and female undergraduates to become tomorrow\u2019s physics teachers. The second component of APEC is the Physics Resource Enhancement Program (PREP), a central clearinghouse for dissemination of best teaching practices. A Wiki[12] will facilitate communication among faculty, PTRA leaders, teachers and students by enabling sharing of questions, ideas, best practices, and lessons learned. Lecture podcasts[13] will allow retrieval of exemplary teaching methodologies. PREP will also supply physics laboratory equipment to local education agencies (LEAs) through AMSTI/ASIM).</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td class='diff-marker'>\u2212</td><td class='diff-deletedline'><div><del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">* </del>[//www.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">mediawiki</del>.org<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings Configuration settings list</del>]</div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div>\u00a0</div></td></tr>\n<tr><td class='diff-marker'>\u2212</td><td class='diff-deletedline'><div><del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">* </del>[//www.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">mediawiki</del>.org/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">wiki</del>/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Manual:FAQ MediaWiki FAQ</del>]</div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">The '''Physics Teaching Research Program (PTR)''' goals are to establish and sustain project outcomes in teaching and learning through development of a research priority, using a community of researchers focusing on physics education. Formal research verifies effective strategies and extends the knowledge base. Research on physics teaching and classroom action (practitioner) research will be essential elements of PTR. The PTR research team consists of educational researchers, along with STEM discipline faculty, with expertise and extensive experience in using quantitative and qualitative methodologies in investigating STEM teachers and students as well as other STEM faculty. The research program is organized around understanding immediate and long-term impacts of different components of PTI on pre- and in-service teachers, students, and administrators affected. Two broad research questions define the PTR research agenda: (1) How do we enable physics teachers to implement effective standards-based reform in their courses? and (2) What are the impacts on short- and long-term student outcomes of teacher professional development that focus on the implementation of reform in high school physics courses? The focus of PTR research will be on content-specific professional development effects of the Physics Teacher Institute (PTI) impact on physics teacher knowledge and abilities: Discipline Content Knowledge (DCK), Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), and Technology Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). Among the several elements of PTI, action research allows practitioners to deeply understand content and integrate best practices, as reported in the research 3 literature, learned in PTI. It also provides a means through which practitioners can expand their expertise through individualized professional development. Practitioners test new strategies in their own classrooms. The primary members of the research community involve: (1) physics education researchers, (2) physics faculty/researchers, (3) in-service physics teachers, serving as mentors who practice and model action research, (4) in-service teachers of physics who are developing skills in using action research as professional development, and (5) pre-service teachers in physics education who work with in-service teachers. Each group has a significant role, creating a strong foundation of research and practice, and contributing new knowledge to be disseminated nationwide.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td class='diff-marker'>\u2212</td><td class='diff-deletedline'><div><del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">* </del>[<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">https</del>://<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">lists.wikimedia</del>.org/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">mailman/listinfo/mediawiki</del>-<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">announce MediaWiki release mailing list]</del></div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div>\u00a0</div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\">\u00a0</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">The '''Physics Leadership Development Program (PLD)''' will provide opportunities for teachers, science curriculum coordinators, professional development coordinators, principals, and superintendents to understand the role of physics in developing the nation\u2019s needed resources and providing necessary intellectual leadership to ensure the success of physics education in participating schools and districts.
