Ambrose. John Wiley & Sons is the principal source of funding for this award, through its donation to the AAPT. Ambrose earned his BS in Physics at Yale University. Both his MS and PhD in Physics are from the University of Washington. Since 2013 he has served as Professor of Physics at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. The physics department at Grand Valley State University (GVSU) offers a BS in physics, as well as a few gradu- Bradley S. Ambrose ate courses in support of an M.Ed. During his time at GVSU, Ambrose has taught a variety of courses. The Grand Valley State Univer- courses for teachers have long been taught in an inquiry-based style, but he has incorporated inquiry-based sity, Allendale, MI components into all of his other courses as well. His approach is student-centered, actively engaging the students in the learning process and empowering students to take the next step on their own. He is a master at asking questions to stimulate student learning, helping students solve problems themselves rather than just telling them the answers. Students and colleagues alike rate his teaching as excellent, as evidenced by his being selected for We Teach More Than one of several campus-wide teaching awards in 2006 as well as GVSU’s Outstanding Teacher Award in 2014. Physics He is also an exceptionally reflective teacher committed to making changes in order to enhance student learn- ing and uses his expertise in physics education research (PER) to develop many course materials. He worked with a team of colleagues during the summer of 2000 to revise the GVSU introductory labs from a “cookbook” Monday, July 30 approach to an inquiry-based one. More recently, he collaborated with colleagues nationwide on an NSF-CCLI 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. grant to develop a series of tutorials in intermediate mechanics to build students’ abilities to understand multi- Renaissance Ballroom step processes and better connect calculations to concepts.
