High‐School Teachers Institute

Temple University has announced plans for a 1962–63 academic year institute intended exclusively for secondary‐school physics teachers. The program will be conducted with the support of the National Science Foundation and will consist of eleven specially designed courses in physics, mathematics, and chemistry. These will include physics and chemistry demonstrations, courses in mathematical analysis and in modern physics and chemistry, and a short introduction to the topics and methods developed by the Physical Sciences Study Committee. The MS degree in education can be earned through work done in the institute, and the program also offers the opportunity for teachers having sufficient background to work towards a master’s degree in physics. Further information can be obtained by writing to Prof. Elmer L. Offenbacher, Director of the Academic Year Institute, Temple University, Philadelphia 22, Pa.
