Dr. Carl J. Wenning Endowed Physics Teacher Education Scholar Award
Carl Wenning retired from Illinois State University on May 31, 2008. Pursuant to his goal of developing the best physics teacher education program in the nation, he and his wife Carolyn established the Dr. Carl J. Wenning Endowed Program for Physics Teacher Education Scholars. The purpose of this program is to provide resources for majors in the field of physics teacher education to highly qualified program graduates. The materials will be chosen by the program coordinator based on the needs of the average new physics teacher in an Illinois public school and presented to each new teacher upon their graduation from the physics teaching program or when all conditions set forth in this agreement are met.
