American Association of Physics Teachers
Our “Parent” organization: Check this page out. A good deal of effort has gone into making it a central source of information and ideas for physics teachers everywhere. A new section on the AAPT web site is the Physical Sciences Resource Center. New and old ideas of value to teachers in planning their curriculum or their demonstrations are found here. A newly developing project on the AAPT website, ComPADRE will contain a growing wide range of electronic resources of value to physics teachers. There is also a job posting board for people seeking physics teaching jobs and schools with job openings. This is a growing part of the AAPT website.
Southern California AAPT
The section of AAPT which serves the southern part of the state, from San Luis Obispo and Bakersfield to the Mexican border. Most members in the Las Vegas area attend SCAAPT.

Journal of Physics Teacher Education Online
Journal of Physics Teacher Education Online is dedicated to investigating and documenting significant issues and challenges in the education of physics teacher candidates. With a focus on the scholarship of teaching, the journal seeks to generate discussion and promulgate sustainable, long-term changes in educational research, policy and practice. JPTEO is temporarily on hiatus, but their journals from 2002 to 2008 are still available.
