Webinar: STEP UP! Careers in Physics (2026-09-21)

Mon, 21 Sep 2026 23:00:00 GMT

STEP UP! Webinar: Careers in Physics

Presenters: Jeremy Secaur & Bree Barnett Dreyfuss

This session focuses on the Careers in Physics lesson, part of STEP UP!'s national campaign (a collaboration between the American Physical Society, Florida International University, Texas A&M, and AAPT) to help physics teachers inspire more students, especially young women, to pursue physics in college and beyond. Join Jeremy and Bree as they walk through how to bring this lesson into your own Modeling classroom.

Careers in Physics lesson is a great way to excite students about where physics can take them. It helps connect them to the content you will teach throughout the year, offering a tangible answer to the question, “why do I need to learn this?”

Date: September 21, 2026

Modeling Astronomy — Distance Learning Workshop @ UNO (Fall 2026) (2026-09-22)

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Explore the universe through the lens of Modeling Instruction in this hybrid online professional development workshop designed for middle school, high school, and introductory college physics and astronomy educators. Participants will engage in the Modeling cycle as learners while exploring research-based instructional strategies, classroom activities, and assessment techniques that promote conceptual understanding and scientific inquiry.

The workshop will meet weekly via Zoom from September 1^stthrough December 8^thon Tuesday evenings (7-10 PM Eastern, 6-9 PM Central, 5-8 MT, 4-7 PT), providing opportunities for collaboration with teachers from across the country while allowing participants to immediately implement Modeling strategies in their own classrooms.

Workshop participants may choose from multiple professional development options:

AMTA Workshop Only – Participate in the workshop as a professional learning experience.
University of the Pacific Graduate (UoP) Credit – Earn graduate credit through AMTA's long-standing partnership with the University of the Pacific. 2 UoP credit hours at a rate of: $79 / credit. Contact engage@modelinginstruction.org
University of Nebraska Omaha Graduate Credit – Participants may also choose to enroll in PHYS 8320 – Modeling Instruction in Astronomy and earn 3 graduate credits through the University of Nebraska Omaha. This graduate course extends the workshop experience through additional readings, reflective assignments, and curriculum development activities delivered through UNO's Canvas learning management system.

Modeling Physics: Electricity & Magnetism Distance Learning Workshop (Fall 2026–Spring 2027) (2026-10-04)

Sun, 04 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This distance learning course prepares teachers to implement the Modeling Instruction approach to Electricity and Magnetism in their Physics classrooms. Participants will experience the Modeling cycle firsthand developing conceptual models through guided inquiry, whiteboarding, and collaborative argumentation before adapting these practices for their own students.

Content moves through the standard modeling sequence for E&M: electrostatics and the charge model, Coulomb's law, electric fields and potential, simple circuits (current, resistance, and Ohm's law), circuit models (series and parallel), and an introduction to magnetism and electromagnetic induction. Throughout, the emphasis is on how students build and test models through experiment and discourse, rather than on lecture-based delivery of content.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

Facilitate Modeling Instruction for E&M topics in Physics
Use whiteboarding and Socratic dialogue effectively in virtual and in-person formats
Assess student model development through representations (diagrams, graphs, equations) rather than rote problem-solving alone

LOCATION: The workshop will meet weekly via Zoom.

DATES & TIME: from Oct 4th through Nov 15th and from Jan 17th through Feb 28thon Sunday evenings (7-10 PM Eastern, 6-9 PM Central, 5-8 MT, 4-7 PT); 3 hours per week.

LEADER(S): Shannon McLaughlin and Geoff Nunes

COST: members: $900; non-members $975

GRADUATE-LEVEL CREDIT: 3 optional Graduate-level credits are available from University of Pacific.

Webinar: Video Analysis using "Sigmund" (2026-10-05)

Mon, 05 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

With the discontinuation of Logger Pro, options for video analysis are either costly, complex, or both. Sigmund is a free, web-based video analysis program. It has a simple interface designed with students in mind. They can easily load and analyze their own videos of dropped and tossed balls. Their data can be easily copied and pasted into a graphing and analysis tool for a complete laboratory experiment.

Webinar: Introduction to Modeling Strategies (2026-10-27)

Tue, 27 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

New to Modeling Instruction or curious what all the buzz is about? Join us for an introductory webinar designed to give you a first look at Modeling strategies and how they can transform the way students engage with science.

You'll get a hands-on sense of what Modeling looks like in practice, why it's such a powerful approach for building deep conceptual understanding, and how you can start bringing these strategies into your own classroom, regardless of subject area or experience level.

Whether you're a classroom teacher exploring new pedagogy or just want to see what Modeling is all about, this session is a great starting point.
Save your spot and come see what Modeling can do for you and your students!
