Teaching High School Physics is centered on the principle that teachers need to be educated rather than trained and helps to form a substantive and substantiated foundation for a new way of teaching. Providing a mix of theory and practice, these books describe more than 40 important topics and encourage an inquiry-oriented approach to physics teaching. They include numerous examples and helpful resources. Managing the Physics Classroom:Prepares physics teachers with a solid philosophical and practical foundation on how to manage the classroomAddresses the professional practice of teaching from curriculum development to lesson planning to assessment to evaluationInforms readers about how to engage in the physics education community as a leader Teaching High School Physics is suitable for teacher candidates, experienced in-service physics teachers, and educators seeking a detailed reference guide to the many subjects being addressed in today's teaching reform movements.
