The CAP 2010 Congress Program has been set! This Congress will be an amazing opportunity for Canadian Physics Educators to meet each other, to discuss the recent development of the Physics Education in Canada and hear what is new in the world of physics. Do not miss this opportunity.
Moreover, CAP announced the awards in the Excellence of High School Physics teaching and our own President, Mr. Philip Freeman is one of the five Canadian recipients. Congratulations Philip. We are very proud of you. This is the quote from the CAP Web site:
Mr. Philip Freeman, Richmond Secondary School (Richmond, BC), for his efforts over the course of his twenty years as a high school physics teacher. Mr Freeman has taught a wide variety of physics math and philosophy courses and inspired thousands of students with his curiosity about the natural world and his passion for the paradigms of physics. His students have excelled in contests, in post-secondary studies and in their careers and many recognize Mr Freeman as a teacher that sowed seeds of curiosity and cultivated habits of inquiry that ultimately contributed significantly to their development as thinkers, professionals and citizens. A long-time member of the BC Association of Physics Teachers, Mr Freeman is as committed to communicating the beauty of physics to his peers as he is to his students. He is a frequent workshop presenter, a writer/editor with the TRIUMF Outreach video series and has been a mentor for many new teachers over the course of his career. The CAP would like to acknowledge his significant contributions to physics education in British Columbia by presenting Mr Freeman with the first ever CAP High school Physics Teacher Award for the BC region.
CONGRATULATIONS PHILIP!
Dr. Marina Milner-Bolotin from the University of British Columbia was a CAP recipient of the Excellence in Undergraduate Physics Teaching Medal. She was the first woman to be honoured with this medal and will also receive it during the CAP 2010 Congress. Congratulations Marina!
