AAPT was established in 1930 with the fundamental goal of ensuring the "dissemination of knowledge of physics, particularly by way of teaching." The Association currently has over 11,000 members in 30 countries around the world.
Annual Meetings in January and August give members the opportunity to network, discuss innovations in teaching methods and share the results of research about teaching and learning. In addition to these meetings, smaller workshops and conferences throughout the year provide further opportunities for professional development.
The Association also publishes two major peer-reviewed journals, the American Journal of Physics and The Physics Teacher. These journals provide a medium for sharing methods and research about teaching physics at introductory and advanced levels. Subscription to one or both journals is included with membership.
AAPT also participates in or sponsors many projects related to improving the teaching of physics. The Assocaiation offers awards and grants for educators, and sponsors or participates in many contests and competitions for physics students.
