A Project of Joliet Junior College (IL), Lee College (TX) and the National Science Foundation
2009 Excellence in Physics Education Award
was received from the American Physical Society in Denver on May 3, 2009
"For leadership in introducing physicists in two-year colleges to new instructional methods, in developing new materials based on physics education research, and in fostering faculty networking, particularly in two-year colleges."
This group award was presented to the
Two Year College Workshop Team
Curtis J. Hieggelke, Joliet Junior College (Joliet, Illinois)

Physics Workshops for the 21st
Century
supported in part by a grant (#0101589) from the Division of
Undergraduate Education (DUE)
of
the Advanced Technological Education (ATE)
Program of the National Science Foundation (NSF)
This program provided a series of faculty professional development workshops for high school and two-year college teachers who teach the core physics courses for technology and other programs. These workshops cover the major developments in teaching and learning strategies that have emerged in the last few years.
Since 1991, this project has held over 60 workshops at more than 18 sites in 13 states that have served well over 1000 participants from 46 states. In the last several years, there have been twenty-three different workshops connecting physics and technician education at five different sites.
Workshops for TYC and HS physics teachers are now being offered by Lee College (TX) and Estrella Mountain CC (AZ). Information can be found at http://www.physicsworkshops.org/
