Physics teacher shortage in schools

As a former Physics teacher, I continue my interest (though at a low level) in Physics Education at High and Higher Secondary Schools. As many School Administrators know, physics teacher shortage is a common problem in developing as well as developed counties including the US.

(I remember how my colleagues Sabine Feeser and David Sheldon used to get help in teaching physics in their classrooms, from me and brilliant Physics teachers such as Ulrich Klausen, who was also an accomplished musician, in a school in Southern Africa in the late '80s).

I am a retired K-12 Education Management Professional. I have worked at different levels in K-12 school systems, textbook publishing, elearning and Education NGOs. I have held memberships in The Association for Science Education (UK), American Association of Physics Teachers and The Malaysian Institute of Physics. I hold a 1st class B Sc Degree in Physics followed by B Ed [English and Physical Science] and M A [Childcare and Education] degrees. My published works include 59 articles in teacher development magazines in India and the US and a book entitled `Creative Classrooms and Child Friendly Schools' (listed in Amazon). This book is almost an anecdotal account of my professional experience in six countries (including Cambodia where I worked as Technical Adviser to the Ministry of Education, Youth And Sports). I served as mentor in the Certificate of Teaching Mastery Program offered by Teachers Without Borders.
