Calling all HS physics educators in LA County! Join the STEP UP movement.

STEP UP is a national community of physics teachers, researchers, and professional societies. We design high school physics lessons to empower teachers, create cultural change, and inspire young women to pursue physics in college.

Goal: STEP UP Advocates are teachers of physics implementing STEP UP curriculum in their classrooms to inspire young women to pursue physics. Selected teachers will join a cohort of educators from three specific regions centered around Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City. 

The 2023-24 cohort will join a growing, regional community of teachers, university faculty, and pre-service teachers to increase the strength of the physics education community in the local area. These teachers will be on the front lines of shifting gender equity in physics and will provide critical feedback to STEP UP about the lessons and the impact in their classrooms.
