Free professional learning for Physics teachers
The Rickey Summer Science Institute (RSSI) for high school physics teachers, held annually at Marietta College in Marietta, OH, equips teachers with tools and training to help their students develop conceptual understanding of physics.
The 2024 RSSI is being held July 8th through the 12th and will emphasize the use of real-time data acquisition to teach foundational concepts dealing with energy transformations. More information and an application can be found at https://www.marietta.edu/physics-rssi.
Because the RSSI is endowment-funded all instruction, tools, continuing education units, meals, and housing are provided free-of-charge. An option for three graduate credits is available.
