- Ruth Chabay, NC State
- Ruth, co-author of Matter and Interactions, presented at AAPT 2012-02-07. Says different sequence requires different pedagogical approach to each topic, and M&I requires different-from-others assessments.
- Charlie Holbrow
- author of Modern Introductory Physics.
- Don Holcomb, Cornell U.
- Don calls for 'thawing the frozen curriculum.' A principal in IUPP in the 90s, worked with Colgate U and others to try.
- Bruce Sherwood, NC State
- co-author of Matter and Interactions, has trained several high school teachers who use M&I in AP C courses, or private schools.
- Thomas Moore, Pomona College
- Tom wrote the six-volume textbook Six Ideas that Shaped Physics, which can be used in different orders. See photos from AAPT 2012-02. Not just an author, Tom stresses the importance of course design.
- Mark P. Haugan, Purdue U.
- Starting in 2000 Purdue started using Matter and Interactions by Chabay and Sherwood with physics majors. Purdue physics has also converted engineering courses. The physics department is a leader, inspiring all Purdue STEM fields to rethink their introductory courses away from their traditional lectures.
