Last week's Global Physics Department meeting was devoted to advice for new high school physics teachers, and featured presentations by 4 new-ish teachers sharing lessons they've learned, including Akwetee Watkins, Daniel Longhurst, Matt McCollum and Steve Nixon.
Here are a few more additional resources that
- The 5 pieces of advice survey created by the global physics department with responses from 19 teachers.
- Letters to a first year teacher: The compilation. An excellent project started by a math teacher on twitter where teachers around the world wrote letters with advice for new teachers.
- AAPT's e-mentoring program. New teachers can sign up to be assigned a mentor to turn to for advice.
