Why did I become a physics teacher?
My personal experiences as a student My personal experience as a daughter of a physicist
4
What was most surprising when I was teaching?
Relationships with my students Time in class (flow state, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi remember this name!)

Why did I stop being a teacher after 13 years and became a teacher educator?
It is all about impact... 1 teacher = 75 X 20 = 1500 people Teacher educator = 10 x 20 x 1500 = 300,000 people If just two of those teachers become professors - we get to a million...

Five reasons to teach physics
? You can actually learn physics. ? You do creative work every day, every minute, every
second. ? You can affect lives of at least a 1500 people. ? You will not age and can potentially experience
emotional high every day. ? You have flexible hours in the afternoon, a long
summer break, and good benefits in some states (although this is changing rapidly now).

Another good reason - you can go places and associate with cool people

NASA
