The American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) was founded in 1930 by members of the American Physical Society whose main interest was the teaching of physics. Since then its primary goal has remained the improvement of physics teaching at all levels. The Association publishes two journals (American Journal of Physics and The Physics Teacher) and a bulletin (The Announcer). The American Journal of Physics is intended for papers concerning physics teaching at the level of colleges and universities in the United States while The Physics Teacher is concerned primarily with introductory physics, including high-school courses. Two national meetings are held annually as well as numerous regional meetings.
