Description of Organization

ISPP is a loose organization of High School, College, and University Physics Teachers in the Chicago Area who meet once a month , except November and July and August, at a host school to discuss teaching methods, lecture and lab demonstrations, and teaching techniques. We emphasize the use of phenomena to engage the student, so the presentations usually involve activities.
