Reflection on Developing a STEP UP Professional Learning Community
ORAL
Abstract
While teachers are accustomed to gathering, modifying, and writing lessons for their students they do not always have experience developing instructional materials for fellow teachers. This talk will include reflections from three high school teachers who developed Professional Learning Community materials for current and future high school physics teachers from across the country. As part of a new STEP UP program focused on the Everyday Actions Guide, a collection of strategies for an inclusive classroom community, the first PLC began in July 2025 and will continue through the 2025-2026 school year. Come hear about the experience of developing reflective activities for teachers with varying levels of experience and backgrounds, how the experience so far has affected our plans for the PLC and how you can join this national effort to bring physics teachers together to reflect on our teaching.
