Abstract	In the fall of 2008, the authors contacted a representative sample of over 3,600 high schools in the U.S.--both public and private--to determine whether or not physics was taught there. They received responses from over 99% of the schools. For the schools which indicated they were offering physics, they obtained contact information for the teachers. In the spring of 2009, they contacted each of the teachers who were thought to be teaching physics. They received responses from over 2,500 teachers (a 62% response rate). This report describes the authors' findings. (Contains 4 tables and 7 figures.) (ERIC).
