AAPT empowers physics educators, from introductory physics to post graduate physics with an active community of teachers.
AAPT® was established in 1930 with the fundamental goal of ensuring the “dissemination of knowledge of physics, particularly by way of teaching.” Founders, Homer L. Dodge, Paul E. Klopsteg, and William S. Webb, led the effort to organize the first association dedicated to improving physics education. Today that vision is supported by members around the world.
The AAPT Executive Office works closely with the Executive Board and member volunteers to manage the operations, carry out directives, and create and uphold general association policies. The Executive Office represents the Association at public venues. It provides leadership and services for all AAPT activities and programs. The Executive Office further manages all external grant projects on behalf of AAPT.
Contact the Executive Office if you have questions about any of the Association’s programs and services.
If you are an active member but are unable to sign in, please contact the AAPT webmaster for assistance. If you need to retrieve your password or account, please see the Help page.
