Objectives
• Physics concepts and problem-‐solving skills• Boost teachers confidence• Show how to explain concepts to students and engage them effectively
• Labs and hands-‐on learning experiences• Tools, ideas, and kits for physics demonstrations on a small budget
• Facilitate collaboration of physics educators in Texas

“I was trained in Biology, so my first year teachingphysics was overwhelming. After attending MIPEP, mysecond year teaching physics was a dramaticallydifferent experience for both myself and my students.The content knowledge, the demonstrations, and theteaching strategies that I learned at MIPEP were allextremely helpful. The most important thing that I gainedfrom MIPEP was the confidence that yes I can teachphysics and do it well. I am very grateful for yourwillingness to help high school educators and theirstudents.”
Feedback from teachers
“I am from an extremely rural area of the Texas Panhandle.… I have now attended well over 400 hours of continuingeducation in my 7 years of teaching, and this has been far-and-away the most beneficial professional developmentexperience I have ever had. … The MIPEP program is adiamond among continued education. It is rigorous,intense, it is time-intensive… This unique program is theperfect balance to maximize learning for secondaryeducators.”
Feedback from teachers
“Enhancement is exactly the right word for this program. Ihave read about cyclotrons, nuclear reactors,observatories, superconductors, and Foucaultpendulums. I had never seen any of these things inperson. The Physics Show and classroom demonstrationsalso included many firsts.”
Feedback from teachers
Evaluation
• Pre- and post-tests of physics knowledge• Pre-‐ and post-perceptional surveys• Post-session topic surveys• Structured observations of classrooms and labs
Education Research Center at TAMU led by Dr. Jackie Stillisano
Evaluation
• ”Effectiveness of MIPEP for teacher development”: ongoing research project led by Tatiana Erukhimova
• Testing and survey of all past MIPEP participants
• Results reported at the national annual conference of the American Association of Physics Teachers
