Episode 32 - Master Physics Teacher on How to Prepare for AP Physics - Dan Fullerton
Send us Fan Mail
In this episode of the SupportED Learning Podcast, Dr. Joe Sebestyen sits down with Dan Fullerton, NY State Master Physics Teacher, author of seven physics prep books, and founder of APlusPhysics.com, to explain how a microelectronics engineer who built semiconductors at Samsung and Kodak ended up teaching high school physics and pioneering an approach that flipped the traditional classroom on its head.
Dr. Joe Sebestyen and Dan Fullerton break down what students and families actually need to succeed in AP Physics, including the real difference between AP Physics 1, 2, and C, why math is the language of physics but not the point of it, how to recover from a bad first quarter, and the free resources he recommends students use alongside textbooks. Dan also explains why 1:1 device rollouts haven't fixed learning, why "whoever does the work does the learning" should be every teacher's north star, and why grades are just a silly letter on a silly piece of paper.
This episode is especially useful for students preparing for AP Physics, parents trying to understand which AP Physics course fits their kid, high school physics teachers rethinking their classroom model, and educators interested in flipped learning. Dan gives a clear, honest framework for building resilience, owning the struggle, and using physics as a way to learn how to learn anything.
