Impact of OPTYCs: Quantitative Data

The Organization for Physics at Two-Year Colleges(OPTYCs) is three years into its four-year grant (NSF-DUE-2212807). Our long-term goals include: (1) reinvigorating and improving the quality of physics education in TYCs; (2) TYC physics and astronomy faculty feel connected to a national TYC community of practice; (3) TYC physics faculty have the support they need to thrive professionally; (4) TYC physics is integrated within national physics education in terms of attitudes and structure; and (5) OPTYCs is recognized as the organization and community for TYC physics faculty professional growth and development, supporting sustainability and serving as a national model for other STEM disciplines. This poster presents quantitative data on our progress towards these goals.
