With the support of our members worldwide, AAPT is an action oriented organization designed to develop, improve, and promote best practices for physics education as part of the global need for qualified Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics teachers who will inspire tomorrow s leaders and decision makers. We serve our members through networking, publications, and programs, but also reach out to the larger community of physics and science teachers current and future and we look after issues of significance in science education. Our national office works closely with our dedicated volunteers around the world to promote a better understanding of physics at all levels. AAPT provides networking opportunities through online discussion lists, social media, the Workshops for New Physics and Astronomy Faculty (with APS and AAS); Physics Department Chairs Conference (with APS), and our two national annual meetings. The association supports physics educators through our publications, the American Journal of Physics and The Physics Teacher; Physical Review Special topics Physics Education Research (with APS and the APS Forum on Education) and the ennouncer; NSF-funded programs including the PER User s Guide, the Physics Teacher Education Coalition, PhysTEC (with APS); Physics Teaching Resource Agents institutes; the digital physics library, ComPADRE (with APS and AIP); Physics Program Reviews, and the student programs and scholarships that we administer, including the Lotze Scholarship for Future Teachers.

It was founded in AAS members include professional researchers in the astronomical sciences, and also educators, students, and others interested in the advancement of astronomical research. The Society operates in five major areas: Publications, Meetings, Education, Public Policy and Employment in order to ensure that astronomy remains healthy and vital for the benefit of our profession and society at large. AAS publishes The Astrophysical Journal and The Astronomical Journal, which are among the most important scholarly journals in the field. The Bulletin of the American Astronomical Society reports the latest institutional developments and documents the content of AAS and its divisions annual meetings. More information about the Society s activities and membership are available on the AAS website, 8 workshop for new physics and astronomy faculty

Since its formation in 1899, it has been dedicated to providing its members and the international physics community with the latest research results through meetings and the most highly respected international journals in physics. These journals include Physical Review Letters, the Physical Review (including an international journal on Physics Education Research), Reviews of Modern Physics, and its newest journals, Physical Review Applied, PRX, and Physical Review Fluids. The APS conducts more than 20 meetings per year, to connect physicists and disseminate physics knowledge and information relevant to the community. In addition, APS vigorously lobbies for funding for physics research and education, provides the physics community with timely information about government a airs, carries out studies of physics- based topics of importance to the country, and promotes the interests of the physics community through extensive public information efforts such as a website for the public. APS is actively involved in programs to improve undergraduate and graduate education and to improve the preparation of future physics and physical science teachers through its leadership in the Physics Teacher Education Coalition ( APS partners with AAPT in PhysTEC and on numerous other education programs, including the New Faculty Workshop, and conferences and workshops on education at various levels. For many years APS has worked to increase diversity in the physics community, and in 2012 launched the APS Bridge Program ( a national effort to increase the number of underrepresented minorities that receive a PhD in Physics. In addition, APS sponsors the Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics regional conferences to encourage participation of women in the discipline that now attract more than 1,500 undergraduate women each year.
