This list includes papers published in a variety of journals that may be of interest to
researchers in physics education and to physics teachers interested in making their
classrooms more effective. Papers have been selected that focus on high school or college
level physics teaching, though we may occasionally include papers described work with
younger students if they seem relevant. This list includes papers published with calendar
