I have taught Academic, Honors, and AP Physics, as well as Integrated Science for freshmen and Principles of Physics and Chemistry. In addition to a taking a range of advanced physics coursework, I have also attended workshops in AP Physics hosted by CollegeBoard, and physics instruction at Rutgers University Graduate School of Education. Rutgers GSE faculty have developed PUM (Physics Union Mathematics), which is a method of physics pedagogy that is gaining rapid widespread adoption across the nation, and also informed the curriculum for the new AP Physics exams.
