The WNYPTA is an active group of people interested in physics teaching in the Western New York region including elementary, middle school, high school, community college and undergraduate and graduate university physics teachers, teachers-to-be and retired teachers. We meet monthly during the school year to share ideas, discuss concerns and finds ways to further our own professional development. Usually we meet 9:00am-noon Saturdays in room 206 Science Building on the campus of Buffalo State College (map). Letters of attendance for three hours at a professional development event are issued each meeting.
