The Chesapeake Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) represents educators from high schools and universities in Delaware, the DC area, Virginia and Maryland, and is part of the national AAPT. The goal from the Section's constitution is "...the advancement of the teaching of physics, the professional advancement of the teachers of physics at all levels, and the furtherance of the appreciation of the role of physics in our culture." The Section meets twice a year to discuss educational practices and how to better promote physics education and research.
