EP3 Guide: Implementing Research-Based Teaching Practices in Your Classroom

ORAL

Abstract

The Effective Practices for Physics Programs (EP3) initiative (EP3guide.org) is a collaborative effort between APS and AAPT designed to support physics departments in improving all aspects of their programs through continued self-reflection. One focus area identified early on for EP3 was providing guidance on teaching practices. Several of the most recently published sections include strategies for how instructional staff can apply research-based teaching in their classrooms. In this talk, we describe the EP3 Guide, summarize the process of writing the Guide, and provide details about the section “Implementing Research-Based Teaching in Your Classroom.”
