What is it?

The AAPT eMentoring program is designed toconnect AAPT members of the K-12 physics educator community with each other. More experienced educators (mentors) are connected with one or more novice educators (mentees). Based on each mentee's profile, the program will connect them with a qualified mentor who fits the needs of that mentee. The mentee and mentor can thenbegin communicating through e-mail, voice chat, telephone, or in some cases face-to-face. All participants will have an opportunity togrow professionally and connect with colleagues at a regional and national level.
